Thanks, and questions.

1. What's the fastest compression program? I'm willing to bet that gzip isn't it. [link|http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/|this] may warrant investigation - I'm going to have a play!
2. Is your gzip appropriately compiled for AMD64, or is it a generic i386 binary?
3. Your Quad Opteron would be much happier in my house. Ship it to me right away!

The CPU overhead is likely less than the network overhead. - (pwhysall) - (30) - Sept. 24, 2004, 07:04:00 AM EDT

Even PKZip on a 286 running DOS could fly through text files - (Another Scott) - (1) - Sept. 24, 2004, 11:04:49 AM EDT

Your pipe is too small then - (broomberg) - (22) - Sept. 24, 2004, 05:46:13 PM EDT

Try different compression quality? - (ben_tilly) - (18) - Sept. 24, 2004, 06:54:01 PM EDT

Try? We do not try. We do. - (broomberg) - (17) - Sept. 25, 2004, 08:13:15 PM EDT

An advantage of gzip is that it's easy to detect errors. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Sept. 25, 2004, 08:25:35 PM EDT

If you MUST... - (broomberg) - Sept. 25, 2004, 08:44:07 PM EDT

Dunno. Ask Dave. - (broomberg) - (2) - Sept. 27, 2004, 12:39:33 PM EDT

Still spam; just spam on dead trees. - (CRConrad) - (2) - Sept. 29, 2004, 01:43:02 AM EDT

"admirable or honourable" - Yup - (broomberg) - (1) - Sept. 29, 2004, 08:19:15 AM EDT
