Not so simple. A bundle of streams is not the same as a stream of bundles.

- sakuronto 8y agoWhat about .gz.tar, in which all the files are gzipped, then tarballed? It seems like it would be a slightly fatter .zip file.
- barrkel 8y agoWith a transparent random access overlay, the difference mostly disappears, reducing to whether the stream needs to be scanned or whether it's indexed, which is itself orthogonal - zip file directory at the end is redundant.
- netheril96 8y agoSo you mean at each "random access", you actually have to scan the whole .tar.gz file to find the location? For large tarballs, that will definitely hinder performance a lot. The difference does not disappear at all.
- barrkel 8y agoApparently you have a comprehension problem.
- netheril96 8y agoThen enlighten me.
