https://wimlib.net/compression.html#Benchmarks I hope you find some of those Compressors handy for speeding up Compactorand that on-the-fly write/compression filter drivers might also be possible..?

Filter drivers are indeed how compaction works, so I'm sure it's possible, but I'd rather leave that to Microsoft so I can blame them if anything goes wrong :)

Wimlib might be of use if I get around to simulated compaction to give more accurate results, but that's quite low priority.
