as long as LZO is optional.... and it's documented somewhere to not use
it if you want fast speed I'm totally fine.

LZO is the fastest (and least dense) decompression method on the spectrum, so I figured you'd care about it. It's faster than gzip, for example. (Of course, if you're loading-time-bound you might be better off using LZMA.)
