[Starkit] Improving Tcl compression and performance

[Guaca Mole]

Is there any documentation somewhere or do you have
any tips on how to improve:
- The time it takes to add files to starkit
- Reducing the size of starkit

I am adding the files to the starkit using something
similar to:

foreach f $files {
  file copy $f $mountedStarkit
}

The starkit has been mounted with compress option set
to 1


So, if I take /usr/lib in my Linux system it is 622Mb
If I do
tar cvfz lib.tgz /usr/lib
it takes 9 minutes and its size is 220Mb

If I pack it in the starkit it takes 50 minutes and
its size is 405Mb

Any hints on how to reduce the size of the starkit or
make the process faster so it is comparable to tar +
gzip ?

Thanks
