Argument to allow compression to be disabled

Open rb0022 opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

It is a good idea to leverage DISM's recovery compression, but this can drastically increase the export / run time.

For novice users a smaller ISO may indicate a more efficient Windows installation, but an expert knows that the size of an ISO that is written to a USB device or used as a baseline for a VM - does not impact the unpacked size of the Windows instance created.

I would suggest allowing the end user to optionally choose whether to disable or use much lower compression, allowing the tiny11builder run time to be much faster.

Love this idea, but with as many iso files as I pack into my ventoy drives, I actually love the compressed final size.

@TheBeardofKnowledge Everyone has different use cases🙂 The point is to allow an arg to amend this for a speedier build, took nearly over 20mins for me (wasn't paying attention to the time, knew it would take a while - anything DISM always does!)
