A valid point, specially when Venti lies behind it.  But 'Net
bandwith/volumes also count.  Unfortunately, there is no easy way to
add compression to "cp", specially when running off a remote
filesystem.  On the other hand, given that cpu connections are
encrypted (I forget what is the case about remote file system
connections), maybe filesystem connections can be run over TLS
_with_compression_.

Why does that make me think of SSH-2?
