When running a shell script, certain executables (especially coreutils,
gawk, sed, grep, find) are not so very infrequently accessed. Is this
compression really feasible for these binaries? Did you compare shell
script performance with non-compressed, XPRESS16K and LZX compressed
/bin dir?
Good point. Now I did a test with a ./configure script run after
reboot: There was significant difference with /bin/*.exe (only)
uncompressed, NTFS-, XPRESS16K- or LZX-compressed. Time was always
around 23s.
Of course this should be: "... . There was *no* significant difference
