Is it the most efficient one with respect to size, or is it a compromise giving reasonable speed?
For example, if gzip compression is used for squashfs, xz would might reduce the size ~20%. My experience is that xz is much slower compressing, but only slightly slower expanding. I guess this would be a big change, so not an option for 13.10, but maybe for the next version, 14.04 LTS :-) But squashfs might already use xz or some compression method with similar performance. Please tell us if you know about that!
