xz compression support
Hello,
Just wondering: Dovecot has gzip/bzip2 compression/decompression support.
According to this:
http://stephane.lesimple.fr/wiki/blog/lzop_vs_compress_vs_gzip_vs_bzip2_vs_lzma_vs_lzma2-xz_benchmark_reloaded
gzip and bzip2 aren't really useful together.
While gzip can offer speed and a reasonable amount of compression ratio,
bzip2 is slow, especially on decompression, which Dovecot does more
frequently than compression (1 vs many).
So: is it planned to include xz (liblzma) support? It would be...
