- Good point, programs like Stacker compress to the hard disk and even my
- old Rodime has about 500,000 byte throughput. Hey, it was late in the
- day and I was tired, so I didn't ask the guy. Had e-mail from a chap at
- Gandalf who wondered what processor they were using. I guess it might
- have been the NIH factor at work, since everyone and his brother has
- a different compression scheme. The whole point is that given any
- good scheme we should be able to effectively double the bandwidth.
