Compressed filesystem for FreeBSD

Hello everyone.
I am searching for compressed filesystem for FreeBSD.
Why do I need compressed filesystem? I am developer of FreeBSD-based
LiveCD, and the main problem of liveCD is loading speed - it's too
slow, comparing with Knoppix or other Linux LiveCD. Usage of
compressed filesystem will improve software loading speed and allow to
put more software to CD.
I found info about project "FiST" in freebsd-fs archives, this is
almost what I need:
ftp://ftp.filesystems.org/pub/fist/fistgen-0.0.7.tar.gz
But gzipfs module does not compile in FreeBSD (developers said that
size-changing algoritm they used currently works only in Linux)
So the question is simple: is there any implementations of compressed
filesystems for FreeBSD (even as unofficial projects)? This will help
a lot in such projects as FreeBSD-based LiveCD.
