I've started with it but later changed to zlib because: - it provides better compression, - it works much better with data stream separated into packets (lz4 can work with the stream, but it does not support flush at teh end of packet and requires presence of previous dictionary-size uncompressed data at the same places where they were during compress/decompress). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
