JD,

Thanks, I've seen this too. It is just a matter of practical testing -
and I am doing the testing right now. If it turns out that creating a
storage that size after SquashFS is exceedingly slow - or requires an
inadequate amount of resources - then we may abandon this idea for
something different.

Boris.
