Alternative compression formats for downloads #1500

(Something for the future) It looks like the tar.xz downloads are ~40% smaller than the gzipped tarfiles - I wonder if it would result in a net reduction in build times after accounting for the decompression time difference?

Less data over the wire is usually a good thing.
