And yes, Puppy has used squashfs a long time, also for their main image. Not sure about 4, haven't tried it.

4.0 has a pet2sfs script for apps (mount by clicking) in addition to a gui  bootloader utility for loading sfs files at bootime.

Regarding compcache:

Does anyone know much about this? For eg if it is being used at scale on any distros or embedded systems? Is the developer associated with OLPC?

Is it used automatically, and if so, how much is allocated?

Seems like you can adjust; found this..

"2) compcache uses kernel memory, which is limited to 1GB on i386. To ensure we don't run out, I limit the compcache size to under 200MB so less than 100MB of kernel memory is used. (The compression ratio for the liveCD seems to be robustly 2:1).
