Introduction
Soup Entry Compression
Soup entries exist in a squashed state within the soup. Thus, an entry usually occupies less space in the soup than it does as a frame in the frame heap. Since an entry is compressed, it is also true that you can't determine ahead of time whether there will be enough room to add it to a given store. Instead, you must attempt to add an entry, and the operation will fail if there is not enough room on the store.
