Log:
Make newsyslog compress logs with xz instead of bzip2 to save space.
While it may be useful for contemporary x64 machines, where CPU power
is not an

hardware
and/or other architectures like arm.

BTW, there are some nice BSD licensed compression utilities nowadays
(snappy, lz4)
that make more emphasis on performance without being bad at all with
compression.
