Read the output, all files generated are stored in a local tmp/ directory for inspection.
I expect that using compressing a directory with Rust libraries produces a similar sized file to cd <from-dir> && tar czf <to-filename.tar.gz> * (lower filesize is better).

## system_tar_gz is smaller than rust_tar_gz (tar+gzip)
:(
Shelling out to tar -czf produces a file that is 0.525x the size as using Rust + Gzip in an atomic operation.
