What would Schopenhauer have thought of Nietzsche?

Even though he would eventually reject much (most?) of his philosophy, Schopenhauer was of course a big influence on Nietzsche. My knowledge of both philosophers is largely through secondary literature, though I have read primary literature of both (Schopenhauer more though). One thing that has always struck me is that Schopenhauer's thought seems (at least in places) radically opposed to Nietzsche. Even though he was an atheist, he shows sympathy for Christian ascetics like Francis of Assisi, whereas Nietzsche of course firmly rejected asceticism. Schopenhauer says that "compassion is the basis of all morality," an idea I'm sure Nietzsche would have been loath to accept.

Schopenhauer died when Nietzsche was only 16, so we obviously can't really ever know for sure what he would have thought, but I get the sense that he would have disliked what Nietzsche had to say. However, I'm curious what any people here more thoroughly versed in Schopenhauer and/or Nietzsche think.

I imagine he would have found Nietzsche's view on suffering as quite perverse. In many ways Nietzsche's defined himself as Schopenhauer's opposite for example - Schop saw life as endless suffering and therefor bad ~ Nietzsche accepts suffering is a large part of life but claims it is life-affirming and in some ways a good thing.
Nietzche takes Schopenhauers pessimistic analysis and turns it conclusions on their head.
