Hi Brion,

Thanks for trying this out.  Performance gain is basically as expected, but 
looks like
that we should switch to native xz support. Alternatively we could reduce the 
cluster size,
although this would impact compression ratio. Anybody has an idea whether 
cluster size reduction
is feasible? (Reduction would need to be about 1:10, so pretty significant).
Regarding image support after some more trials I believe that
the replace-imgsrc-withbase64data in javascript may work sufficiently well for 
first
zim support. It may be pretty slow if a lot of images need to be loaded, but on
mobile phones anyway typically zimfiles with no or few images are the main use 
case
(because with all images the zim files are extremely large).
In the future (=when ice cream sandwich devices available)  it makes sense to 
switch to/add support  of
the  WebViewClient.shouldInterceptRequest-approach, as this is supposed to be 
much faster. We should talk to
the phonegap team, whether they could add support for this, so that plugins can 
use it.


Best regards,
Christian
