don't need to debate whether a few 100 KB/s is fast enough, right? :)
Because that would be as fast as just streaming everything from the
internet (well, streaming from the internet would even be faster with
today's connections…).

Another option would be switching the hpkg compression algorithm to
LZ4, which is optimized for performance and many times faster than
DEFLATE. It's the commonly used compression algorithm in ZFS. See
benchmark comparison here: http://code.google.com/p/lz4/ (in Web+ that
table looks messed up though)
