In the past, there have been experiments to compress the strings within the kernel to reduce run-time memory footprint.

It will include topics like how to obtain the strings, comparison of compression techniques, and implementation details under the light of upstream acceptance. Furthermore, results of the data analysis will provide guidelines for developers how to add strings and other kinds of data, in order to reduce memory footprint and bloat, in general.
