Stats of the day...
I took an existing xz-compressed RPM, and built a newer release of that
package with varying xz levels. The numbers are:
- the new package size at that XZ compression level
- the time to create a new deltarpm from a delta to that new version
One further question -- where does libz compression fit into these stats?
