[RFC PATCH] treewide: remove bzip2 compression support

2020-12-15 Thread Alex Xu (Hello71)
bzip2 is either slower or larger than every other supported algorithm, according to benchmarks at [0]. It is far slower to decompress than any other algorithm, and still larger than lzma, xz, and zstd. [0] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1588791882.08g1378g67.none@localhost/ Signed-off-by: Alex Xu
