Which means you'd be better off with file system level compression.
Yes, if you have administrator privileges and strategic planning,
and if you can tolerate a read-only fs (or your fs can handle overwrites),
then compression of the filesystem itself often saves more space.
(Sometimes UPX still wins because of the 128KiB window in squashfs;
the UPX window is often larger, and sometimes infinite.)
Since the context here was Live images, wouldn't it be a good idea to
use a filesystem that allows compression? The image is going to be
read-only anyway. It would allow more content and probably faster loading.
