 Hi Ozz, On 2019-02-14 10:23:58, you wrote to me: ON> My uplink sends compressed, which to make makes much more sense then ON> compress on the fly (personal preference). Current fidonet over the internet, is so fast, that most sessions only exchange a single pkt file, with only a single or a few messages, typically a few hundreds or thousands bytes. It makes no sense starting up a compression program, that writes them to an compressed "intermediate" file on disk before transmission, when most of those pkt files fit into a single tcp/ip frame. Or when binkp can compress them on the fly which doesn't require extra disk writes and reads for the compressed data. Bye, Wilfred. --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815 * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464) |
