Xz is even slower, and on the machine these numbers came from that difference is
more important in this case.

You know that significant is not a synonym for considerable, right? ;)

Off-topic, but if I can get the same performance with a smaller size, why opt
for the larger size?

I know; most of my builds do have debug info so this is important to me.
I should look into using separate debug info sometime, but not if it gives
something comparable to the .dSYM folders that tend to litter my directories. I
hate that for some reason.
