Is the uncompressing taking place on the server? or on the local (user)
machine? Sounds like it's on the server.
The problem is, you have no *real* way of knowing how long the de-comp
will take (due to other factors, like server/client load, etc etc), so
how do you know when to go from "working" to "done".
So, i'm trying to figure out WHY you're uncompressing a file on the
server that will be used by visitors over http.
Seems wrong to me. Increased server load, more programs, more problems,
slower server response time, increased user anger, etc etc.
Enlighten me as to why, because I may be missing something.
