[android-developers] open penalty
Is there a significant performance penalty for opening files on the SD card? For instance, if you try to play a movie by opening 1000 PNG files in a directory on the sd card, is this way worse than having them all concatenated in one file? My (probably flawed analysis) is this: Since the SD card is not a hard drive, the 10ms or so seek penalty is not there. So, there probably isn't much difference. Anyone have any other views? FYI, I'm basically working on a hi-res loss-less movie player. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
