Observations
Loading text file directly looks like being faster than downloading and unzipping - even on first run.
Once data is in cache, text dominates overwhelmingly.

My guess is that files being sent out by GitHub are automatically gzipped.
What this test seems to be saying is that the fastest thing i to do nothing and just let the server/browser take care of things.
It also shows that the slow start to FlightPath has little to do with downloading the elevations file.
We will have to look elsewhere for the causes...
