1. It isn't any harder to find things in multiple files than
in one file.
Although I think you're right about having smaller modules, I
generally find it easier to browse through a larger file than
many smaller files.
Multiple files is ok if you know what you're looking for
(grep) but when you're just trying to scan across a system to
get a feel for how it's working, juggling many files is a real
pita.
Surely you would know which compression algorithm you wanted to
change? If it's a general renaming or something not specific to
a particular use then a file search is necessary anyway.
I eas speaking more generally, about phobos as a whole.
