Probably in this case it takes reasonable amount of time... |

Well, your questions forced me to do my own investigation of gzip |
| 10 |
performance in one real-life scenario which I hope to use really soon. I |
| 11 |
took my Neo FreeRunner and tested gzip decompression speed there. Time |
| 12 |
to read 10Mb file is about ~ 2.15s. But if I need to read and decompress |
| 13 |
it at the same time it takes ~ 9.90s. So this makes times slower read of |
| 14 |
compressed files. Since stardict reads all index files on each startup |
| 15 |
and currently index files of my dictionaries occupy more than 20M this |
| 16 |
makes much longer startup time. I have not checked runtime performance. |
| 17 |
It'll be affected too but, probably, not too much since stardict will |
| 18 |
decompress only required parts of data. But anyway gzip is not free and |
| 19 |
it's better to have it optional. |
