- I am not sure that I understand the compression problem. There are
- several schemes available that do on the fly compression on data to
- disk. The data rates are significantly higher and they actually make
- the disk interaction faster. That is, the amount of time saved
- reading bytes is greater than the extra required to de/compress.
- Given that 64kbits/s is at least a couple orders of magnitude less, I
- would have thought that this would not be an issue. How are the cases
- different?
