Single-file precompressors #307

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What should be implemented?
Ability to group files into solid blocks, BUT on the first step process data on 
the per-file basis

Why it will be useful?
Multimedia compressors will get profit since it will compress each file 
individually with MM compression algorithm and then reduce repetitions by using 
REP algorithm

In -m1 mode, it will allow to preprocess with BCJ only exe/dll files, combining 
great speed and better compression

One more idea:
Run multiple file preprocessors simultaneously in order to improve overall 
speed. Should be especially advatageous for external executables, hiding delays 
of running external programs
