IOPS are harder to scale (meaning: cost more to scale) than CPU power. And gzip (or lz4 of implemented someday) (or even blosc: http://www.blosc.org/. They claim "Designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than a memcpy() OS call.") is effectively free with todays CPUs. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
