Compress bytecode file payloads? #50

Open waywardmonkeys opened 8 years ago

waywardmonkeys commented 8 years ago

Is it worth hooking up lzma or other compression code to compress the bytecode payloads in the .dbc files?

It would make them significantly smaller.

Bytecode bloat is a not a problem... at least won't be till we have a ton of libraries ported to run under mindy. But a "linker" that fuses the interpreter and the bytecodes into a single executable image would be nice to have especially when running as a rumpkernel.
