Any hard numbers on cpu time versus disk wait? Also how much compression will be achieved...
I always felt this was a loose, but older machine had CPUs 2 order of magnitude slowers while the disk system was less than 1 order or magnitude slower.
Since processors have gotten much faster than I/O, this idea may have merit.
May be an interesting idea (I laughed at the win95 programs to compress the swap, now I have to wonder...).
