It would be interesting to try compressed grimoires. I.e. instead
of distributing tarballs, lets distribute SquashFS images (or something
similar).

I've tested it and the results were kinda conclusive:
# du /var/lib/sorcery/codex/test test.img
179M /var/lib/sorcery/codex/test
11M test.img

Opinions?
