AW: [PHP] Performance of ZLib

Have you tried doing a few test runs to see 1) By how much the files are compressed -- jpegs are already compressed and usually compressing again will only shave a few percent off the size. In some cases the file size can actually increase when "compressed". 2) The average time taken to compress a file. > So what about performance? That is determined by your server -- CPU speed, amount of memory, speed of HDDs. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* QOTD: "East is east... and let's keep it that way." */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
