@DanielaKEngert Curiously, this made me remember the fanboi argument that "if compression works for HDs, it'll be so much better for RAM since it's so much faster", not understanding that the shorter access times of RAM means that the compression overhead will dominate. Fanbois are still the same, 40 years later.
