No, you seemed convinced that you'd have a big win based on the fact that big chunks don't get unpacked - when in fact it's not as much of a win as you might think. And at least in the real world, performance *does* matter - if doing it the traditional way is 3 times faster, nobody's going to be interested. > Besides, your point was that you could not run make inside of a kernel > tarball/zipfile. Nobody ever suggested that you would actually want to. "Here's a new facility. Don't bother trying to actually use it".
