Distro Squash Question . .

Distro Squash Question . .

Good day.
Was interested to know why, with space/bandwidth at such a premium, is
full compression not used during squash.
For example, calling mksquashfs with the -comp xz -b 1M commandline
options at compression time creates an archive which weighs in at about
80% of the original filesystem.squashfs; yet appears to retain full
integrity as both an installation and live image.
Does anybody have some intel here?
Thanks --
