    stage2: 99-elf-stats for squashfs tuning · c2996cc4
    Michael Shigorin authored
    This kind of test was proposed by led@ to gather statistics
    on chroot's contents going to become squashfs (the script
    optimizations lowering added overhead from ~10 sec down
    to a subsecond range were also proposed by him).
    
    Intentionally not documented in doc/variables.txt due to
    the rather lowlevel nature of the probe (at least so far).
    
    The knobs involved are SQUASHFS (the additional effort kicks
    in only for "tight" case) and GLOBAL_SQUASHFS_SORT (must be
    non-empty for this extra overhead to occur).
    
    Additional experimentation is needed to find out whether
    the difference in squashfs size and performance is worth
    the trouble (seems the impact is non-zero but pretty minor).
