"It would make a big difference to the web, especially for static but commonly downloaded data."
Static but commonly downloaded data is already cached. For downloading software packages, or differential sofware updates (e.g. initializing the dictionary with previously downloaded elements), it would make a lot of sense (basically, the things that are already being done with LZMA getting extra speed).
It will take time to get LZHAM as stable as LZMA. It looks promising, anyway.
- bhouston 12y ago> Static but commonly downloaded data is already cached. I was trying to refer to things that are downloaded by a lot of people (such as our 3D scenes here: https://clara.io/library https://clara.io/library), rather than something that is repeatedly downloaded by a single person. Downloading the data to these 3D scenes is by far the slowest thing and we know that LZMA variants lead to nearly 2x reduction in data transfer.
