First of all, you have to check very often if a switch is necessary. Only
if you assume the source is placed linearly, it's as easy as counting down
from 2^16. But linear storage is not nice for editing.

Switching mapper and slot, since Compass allows multiple mappers to be used.
But there is truth in what you're saying. If Compass would store the source
in a different way, it could assemble faster than it currently does.
