No, I'm fine with the high default compression rate. I only do this once a decade, and one hour is fair for this. A Fedora upgrade needs 5-8 hrs.

I have lot of -g info, because I use it mainly for debugging XS problems with old versions. The hashes change for each object, so reduplication is mostly only useful for source files. I really need high compression, which is the default.
