Wow!  It can compress ~400MB into 288,000bytes???  Why don't we
have this compression technology in the kernel???  My 128MB machine
would have the equivalent of something like 186GB of RAM!!
Amazing!!  I'm all over this.

Oh, you mean it checked the status of the files, didn't actually
"mirror" anything?  Gee, and here I was hoping to build this into
a SDRAM in silicon.
Darn, my millions are gone. :-)
