However I still disagree with John Reiser's arguments about costs. If storage is really slow and it's desirable to use ram instead, you have tmpfs at your disposal. And since we're talking about systems on which the GNU C library can be used, the idea that compressed filesystems might not be available is unconvincing. UPX is backwards technology that makes no sense on a system with virtual memory or any nontrivial kernel. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
