yep
maploading time = HD_loading_time + decompression_time

but zip_decompressing is very fast and the HD_load is double as fast if that pk3 is real zipped because the size is just the half!

I just benchmarked it here and noticed no difference between the real zipped pk3 and the just_storaged pk3.

my HD is UDMA6 - if it would be slower then the compressed version would be faster in comparison.
IMO the compressing doesnt slow down the loading time (the original game data is always compressed)
It depends on the relation of you HD/CPU power - for example if you would play it from a CD-media or USB-1.1 HD then the compressed version would be much faster! If you got fast HD then the loading time will be similar (if your CPU is not too weak)

Good idea but it is not how QIII based mods work. The fs_game parameter has to match the directory. That would mean that all of our maps would HAVE to be version specific. Right now we want to avoid that if possible.


The no-compression method was meant to address the much older machines that were being dropped during map changes as their CPUs were being pegged for a long enough time that they were not responding to the server. It was deliberate.

We do still have a few issues with the new delagged code,
specifically with animation smoothness....

Were you running a local server when you noticed this ?
if so, make sure you set "g_smoothclients 40" this will
help a lot.
