Even decompressing LZMA hurts a lot. When testing a livecd in Qemu, that had a 10mb initramfs (gzipped), it was extracted in about 3 secs. When testing the same, but lzma packed, it was ~6.5mb, but decompression took over a minute.

Aside, if you have some spare bandwidth, you may check out my livedvd from here:
(Its a gentoo 2007.0 live-dvd and is getting old. Some stuff like kernel, drivers, internet and multimedia are up to date though. Waiting for kde 4.3 to do my next emerge .)
@curaga and Kano : Indeed decompressing hurts too. Its not slow, but it kills the cpu. Especially live-dvds created with 128kB blocksize literally stutter on a mid-range machine.
