I'd rather waste CPU cycles decompressing than wait the extra time it
takes to load (given the orders of magnitude of speed difference
between reading off of disk versus out of L2 cache), but call me
ridiculous. Processor sitting in an idle loop isn't any different (in
terms wear and tear) than it is decompressing data, the only
difference is the time it takes to do it.
-tom!
