I saw a 10% gain in a test with the games spin. That would allow a few
more games to be part of that spin.

Well mksquashfs will as soon as Kyle let's me put it in rawhide.
The kernel doesn't have support now, but there is a reasonable chance

I need to be able to do testing pretty much as soon as it does.
