Speaking of embedded systems, we here at $work said no for xz (for
compressing anything from initrd images to custom packages) precisely
because it being notoriously slow.  Really constrained environments
certainly call for specific approaches, but just arbitrarily turning on
xz compression on something as general purpose as syslog files is not
the best thing to help one save space.  If fact, I really doubt there
would be any syslog files on filesystem with 8 MB of flash. :-)
