there is an interesting discussion on bb-mailinglist,
regarding speed of compression/decomp and objsize:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2013-February/078963.html
http://lzip.nongnu.org/benchmark.txt
but anyway: IMHO gzip must be handled and a good compressor
is not the goal of toybox, mostly decompression is important.
It's a goal of me. :)
I'd love to be able to link people to the darn talk I did at CELF but
the video's still not online (I didn't mention yocto, so it's not a
priority for them), but the general idea is in the outline at
http://landley.net/talks/celf-2013.txt
I want to be able to use this as an actual command line, not just as an
adjunct to a "real OS". It should be simple, and it should be
minimalistic, but it should also work. A decompressor without a
compressor has a read-only view of the world, it exists solely to
consume data and not produce it. I'm not targeting the iPad.
