Description
I would find neat if ipfs dag stat
also displayed a float CumulatedSize (red from the block metadata when present) / Size (true size of IPFS blocks)
.
This would go below 1 for files that have a slight overhead due to roots taking up place.
And above 1 for things that reuse some blocks.
That is really easy to do as ipfs object stat
already display the CumulatedSize
.
The only thing I'm unsure if we want that, is the name, "compression ratio" sounds like we try to save space, while we don't it's mainly luck.
