Hmm.
I didn't get this talk from its beginning, but the compression/decompression
issue is interesting to me.
I just completed a new app, where I am using the ARJ to compress the data on
the PC and then decompress it on a PC. A friend of mine sent me the sources
of the decompressor, but I never checked out how does the issue with license
stand. If anyone can help I'd admire it.
Meanwhile, I can give you some data I got: it takes the decompression
library about 4 sec to decompress 10k. The source is in C, but as long as I
can see, it can be barely improved by using Assembler, especially if the CW
does its optimization good.
The time required for the decompression is another important factor, I
think. In this case, it is about 110% the size of the packed buffer, which
makes about 10.4k allocated for decompression.
Have fun,
BGK
