We are talking about a 10x increase in the time it takes to create DEBs if moving from gz -> lzma. Is this acceptable? Also, it is more than doubling the work placed on the installer's CPU. This may be acceptable moving forward, if that's what the community and developers decide. However, just bare in mind that many people still run old hardware. In fact, I just helped some homeless people in San Francisco install Linux this weekend, and on that old PIII, it took almost an hour. So, just keep this is mind. If the decision does come down to move to lzma, it should be because of the ISO capacity of 700MB is being exceeded. In that case, the move to lzma would leave 10% more space on the disc without rearchitecting the ISO and default packages... -- Kristian Erik Hermansen "I have no special talent.
