We're currently using zlib compression level 9 when creating the symbols archives. My measurements show this wastes a lot of CPU for minimal space savings. Patch forthcoming.
On my i7-6700K time and size for the full zip archive for a Windows debug build is as follows: Time Size Before: 25.4s 278,708,278 After: 13.0s 280,623,521 Anything lower than level 5 and the archive size starts increasing by several megabytes. Level 5 is definitely the sweet spot. Review commit: https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/55266/diff/#index_header See other reviews: https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/55266/
