I tested this on my OXP Mini and seems to work fine. Some notes I did see however.

It takes longer to deploy a .img than .img.tar.xz for some reason.
It's still much faster than needing to compress the image and then deploy it after.

This can make for a rather speedy test environment for local builds of ChimeraOS.

The speed difference could be that decompression overhead is lower than loading more data from the disk.
