The server images' primary payload are the RPMs, directly on ISO 9660. They're not inside the squashfs image, so installation times aren't going to be affected by the change. I see about a 1% reduction in image size, and 3% increase in boot time for the Server image. The boot time is based on qemu-kvm and SSD, and using systemd-analyze total time. The Workstation Live image however contains the entire payload in the squashfs image. The effect of compression will matter to installation times more. But the 20200925 Workstation Live image doesn't contain the change, so I can't test it to compare. Further, Server installations benefit from RPM's using zstd compression, whereas Workstation installs use xz compression with a correspondingly higher CPU hit. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
