To Zip or Not to Zip?

Just talk about kJams stuff with each other, describe things you did that worked, talk about your setup, anything that doesn't fit into the other forums!

To Zip or Not to Zip?

Post by panicBoy »

Any insights on this issue would be very helpful, as I'm in the middle of importing my library. Are there any issues with using zipped/unzipped files, like processor usage? Sorry if I'm being vague, but I don't want to color any responses.

zipping and unzipping both use the CPU yes. ;)

You're a sillygoose.

I guess I'm asking if kJams uses one or the other more efficiently/elegantly/awesomer!

And thanks for fixing my avatar!

What if disk space isn't an issue?

Kewl. I've been unzipping a lot of stuff lately, and wondering if I was wasting time.
