Hi Sami, Sounds like an interesting idea. The only concern I have is how much overhead does that add to the compilation time? Since the whole point of using ccache is to speed up compilation, we have to be careful about adding extra overhead. Does the patch enable compression by default or does it simply add a flag (or environment variable) to allow users to enable it?
