Well of course, but given that the previously employed technique was blitting, fliedumping memory areas, you can't be more efficient than that. Using XML is for transparency (readability).
(And, note, in context, I regard the ms office file format as lousy. The OpenOffice/LibreOffice format is good.)
- thaumasiotes 2mo agoI don't think your parent comment was talking about the resources involved in saving a file, but rather the resources involved in running the software.
- mdp2021 2mo agoThank you, probably so, but in that case I cannot see how said comment is consistent in the branch ("about file formats") - I do not get how it would follow.
