compression of the data.

Note the filesize. This may be the reason it took 3 times longer. Just a
guess.
Using a 8gb memstick as the target to install 8.0 on took 2 times longer
than disc1 cd installing to same 8gb memstick.
Might have something to do with the amount of data being written. Again,
just a guess. Are you sure it wasn't 3 times longer?
Selected the [STANDARD/KERNEL DEVELOPER] distribution, It completed
successfully, but the new 8.0 8gb memstick was not recognized as bootable.
I don't know why that's the case as I am unable to reproduce this problem,
but if the memstick.img is <1GB, why are you using an 8GB memstick instead
of the 2GB?
Here is a script i have used in the past to convert the disc1.iso to
bootable memstick. Maybe its better to add this script to the place where
8.0-BETA1-i386-disc1.iso is located in place of the memstick.img.
That way the 3 times larger memstick.img is not needed any more.
No. If you took a look at the contents of the memstick, you'd realize it's
not just a copy of disc1. It also includes livefs. This is probably why the
memstick.img is so much bigger. :D

Instead of combining disc1 and livefs into a single memstick.img would't
it be better to make 2 memstick images. One of disc1 and one of livefs.
This matches the standard all ready in place.
