Thanks for your detailed responses. The external compression was my last resolution but now I've maybe found my final solution. I've installed Kernel 3.2 & Btrfs with zlib compression. The fs isn't marked as stable yet but I've heard some positive responses from fellow admins. Right now I've got a real time compression rate of 84% without any cpu problems. I hope my long term test is running fine but right now I'm pretty happy.

That's an interesting solution aswell, thanks for sharing it! I was already considering BTRFS for the next experimental servers I'll be bringing up, this adds one more point in its favour. :) -- |8]
