Most importantly, it greatly reduces the cost of zero-encoded segments-- yes, they're small, but reducing 150 bytes to 1 byte is hard to ignore, and reducing an lzma decompress to a memset is neat. The RLE patches are not so simple, though they seem so at first. Let's hold off on such features until we are certain we need them. ron -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
