- The current implementation is fine, but.. I have in my hands a commercial
- product (no source) that does decompression in noticable less time.
- That suggests that there are faster ways to decompress G4 in software,
- alas my question.

- Unless you didn't understand what I am talking about - CCITT Group 4
- decompression speed - I find this answer silly. What does the
- architecture have to do with algorithmic improvements ? Perhaps you
- should read a computational theory and algorithms book before defining
- what silly questions are.
-
- In response to your 2nd comment, why would I be looking for improvements
- if I had not measured the performance of the current algorithm? If you
- remember, few weeks ago I sent some remarks on the new improved G4
- decompression running on a pentium.
