Description
This PR is adapted from the compression-opts branch. See discussion on #257 for details. This PR drops the
zstd
option from that branch.This PR adds the flag
--compression
tokit pack
, with valid optionsnone
,gzip
, andgzip-fastest
:none
: no compression of layers, store layers as plain tarballsgzip
: current default behavior, compress layer tarballs with gzipgzip-fastest
: compress layer tarballs with gzip at the lowest compression levelThe new default behavior is
none
, i.e. layers are stored in tar format with no compression. In testing, this was found to be a lot faster with minimal effect on modelkit size.In addition, the
gzip-fastest
option is added as testing showed that it could decrease pack time by a factor of 2-10x with minimal loss in compression ratio.Linked issues
