Here is another with lz4, lzo as well as lzma1, although they're not very relevant for the tarball test. Gzip -9 is on par with bzip2 -1 while almost twice as fast. And uses practically no memory(!).

Re:Poll: What do you use for Unix process management/monitoring?

Pacemaker if you need to keep it alive no matter what.
Systemd was pretty stable until user mode flat out broke in 205. I use it to manage my entire desktop session.
Re:A Memory Comparison of Light Linux Desktops

Man, KDE is heavy. Plasma-desktop takes up 194MB here (which matches nicely with his +7MB openbox session), but Kwin, as most KDE users will arguably have, adds 99MB.
So a total of 293MB for KDE. Almost double as much as Gnome 3.
Re:The vision behind Opera 15 and beyond

Here's my wish list for Opera 15 and beyond:
1. Linux support.
2. Don't break my bank (dnb.no) like Chromium
3. Single-key shortcuts
4. Ability to close browser windows with C-w (or C-q without it killing *all* windows)
5. Ability to start browser windows without tab bar
Single-key shortcuts and a tiling window manager recently brought me back to Opera after only using it for banking a while. It's far from a perfect TWM browser, but the keyboard navigation really is worth it.Faithfully yours,
