I worte a library for a very fast random access tar files could be used instead of parsing XML data and poping binray data from the arcive it's very smart and even faster than .zip or MS Access DB
the idea is like the dictd zipped that generate indexed gz file this reduce the efficiency but not much for example lesaan al arab book was just about 7.3MB in this format and it's very simple to pop the first, last,second memeber files in that order while this is very slow even in uncompressed tar the commpressing tool is not yet functional, I wrote a tool that convert tar files to index bz2 tar files http://www.koolpages.com/jornix/downloads/libitar.zip
