Quoting from Tomas:

* Here is an overview what great results can be achieved using bigger blocks:
  http://blog.slax.org/2007/11/02/mksquashfs-lzma-block-sizes-comparison/

* And here is described how it affects the speed of the system:
  http://blog.slax.org/2007/11/08/rc7-done-but-offline/

It appears on my computer that block size 256KB is the best compromise
between speed and size (the ISO is 13MB smaller! and boot takes only 4
seconds longer),
