I'll add more benchmarks, this is still WIP and so far I've mainly tried to satisfy my own needs. My intention with DwarFS wasn't to write "a better SquashFS", but to make it better in certain scenarios (huge, highly redundant data) than SquashFS. SquashFS still has the big advantage of being part of the kernel, which makes it a lot more attractive for things like root file systems.

Are there git filesystems? If so, they could be a good comparison point too - gits PACK file format is pretty magic...

Apparently yes: https://github.com/presslabs/gitfs

How much does the compression of the perl repo become when compressed with

lrzip -UL9 filetarball.tar

It would be a good data point for everyone.
