Hi Philip,

Thank you for your work on squashfs and your persistent effort on mainlining
squashfs-lz4 support!

I've been using squashfs with lz4 compression (together with aufs by Okajima)
for my desktop, laptops, home router and bluetooth music player for about
half a year. There was not a single issue. All I got were reduced latency
compared to lzo compression, and drastically increased compression speed.
The later is important to me because my application requires re-mksquashfs of
the whole system in order to make software updates permanent.

lz4 support (especially with -Xhc) is not only helpful, but also a
valuable addition
to squashfs.

Regards,
Guan
