Speed up package installation #46

Closed Hancock33 closed 2 years ago

Installing the WHDLoad library can take a long time due to LHA/LZH printing to the screen. Would you consider making the output of LHA and LZH quite?

henrikstengaard commented 2 years ago

Do you have some benchmarks to show how much speed increase extraction gives when quiet?

Hancock33 commented 2 years ago

Installing the full games collection (3227 archives) with the quite options took 17minutes 40 seconds (ish) . Without these setting at 3 hours in it is at the archives beginning with P.

If you need an further benchmarks please let me know.

Thats good enough for me, thanks. Will merge it and include it with next release. I will also make install entry write the name of the entry on screen to get a little indication of the extraction progress
