The gzip manpage does not mention 'window' issues. Is there a way to increase the gzip window, perhaps with -9? Or a way for arch to request a larger window (to a reasonable extent) based on the size of the data?
Well, bzip2's window is directly related to the -# flag. -1 = 100k -9 = 900k I think with gzip it is mostly fixed, the - flag just changes how hard it looks. But I don't think we are directly invoking gzip to change the level. John =:->
