using zlib compression of 9 really impacts git...
I agree that it will hurt for big changes, but since I really do believe
that most changes are just a couple of files, I don't believe it matters
for those.
I forget what the exact numbers were, but I did some timings on plain
"gzip", and it basically said that doing gzip on a medium-sized file was
not that different for -6 and -9. Why? Because most of the overhead was
elsewhere ;)
Certainly not different in the overall numbers, but after trying gzip on
a bunch of various source files on 32 bit CPUs, from P-II to Xeon, it
looks as if after 7 the cpu jumps about 40% to 8, and another 30% to 9.
Neither 8 nor 9 give any significant size improvement (< 2%).
Again, this is 32 bit CPU and just the gzip component, reading from
stdin and writing to stdout which I hope gets directory operations out
of the time measure.
Sample attached.
