With 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.
