Hi,
The MoNav Map Package format currently uses LZMA to compress its
blocks. While this ensures a highly compressed file, the decompression
can be quite slow ( 2MB/s on my N900 ). I am thinking of switching to
zlib compression. Qt already supports this ( qcompress, quncompress ),
therefore it wouldn't add any dependencies.
As of now we do not use this file format, but the auto-downloader will use it.
We could also offer to support both compression schemes, however I do
not really warm to the idea of having unused and untested code.
What do you think?
Regards,
Christian Vetter
