Hello world Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Hi I have seen somewhere that the bgeos are saved using .bz extension. But I know that there is .gz! which of these compression is good? and other question is that after saving the .gz extension and click on load from disk, from there on also the sim is playing slowly? what might be the reason?

Jason Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 .bgeo.gz is supported directly. bzip is a little better but a lot slower to compress, in my experience. Not really worth it for binary data, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourfather Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 For some types of data it can save substantial space like Pyro simulation caches. It also reduces bandwidth use which is good in situations where the storage and/or network are overloaded. I typically use gzip compression for any caches I expect to be over a gigabyte (which is most of them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
