Re: Mersenne: More on Compression

[Nathan Russell]

I can see something like this being worth it for a very large executable
- this summer, I was forced to download the Sun JDK over a 56k modem. 
It wasn't fun.  

However, the question we must consider is whether saving space in a
1-meg executable is worth the extra trouble for all concerned, as well
as using a non-standard compression format.
