Can dyld, dylib and shared cache be compress and decompress when required to solve storage problem?

Are you asking whether:

  • There’s a way to configure your system to do this?

  • Whether Apple could add a mechanism to do this?

So, it sounds like you want to:

  1. Compress various Mach-O images on disk

  2. Create a kernel extension that decompresses them on the fly

Is that right?
