Compression! Lets all pitch in

Can we all start listing our compression percentage and on what hardware.
we need to know what works best xfs vs ext3 intell vs AMD does it make a difference? Why can I remove 170mb from the original knoppix iso, add 50mb of new software and be 60 megs over the original image. I hate to split hairs but I don't want to remove anything else.

I'm using an AMD 2400xp 750megs ram 750 megs swap ext3 file system.
using KNOPPIX_V3.3-2004-02-09-EN.iso create_compressed_fs says I got 39% compression
PLEASE reply with your hardware and results, I know the original compressed better than mine and I want to know why.

It's not the HW issuge but the way knoppix is built - it uses a bit diffrent technique than all other how documents..

OK, I can appreciate that, Is there a how-to on where, how and when to implement this in the build process.
Where do I use the /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort file created.
