By packing just a few binaries (especially those you don't use very frequently), you can save a few MB of valuable space. A typical 1MB binary can be compressed to about 250K.
The question then, is how large is a given binary when compressed with jffs2 vs. the UPX compressed version of the same binary again "compressed" by jffs2?
