Mine is a simple question.
If browsing *.tar.gz's is pretty darn fast (in
konqueror & all aps using kio & kparts)
why shouldn't it be so for .tar.bz2's which are
dead slow.
If you would enter a gz in Konqueror (even a few
hundred MB one) and then copying
its contens to /tmp/blahblah for example, you
would get very good speed.
Now, try the same with a bz2. Dinosaurs disapeard
in shorter periods of time
(thousands of years) even for small archives like
few hundred KB or 1-2 MB.
Is there something wrong in the internals of
kio-kpart regarding bz2? (from what i heard about the
technical stuff , it's something about krarc...
something).
If you just want to unpack the archive you might
try adding a .desktop file with a
tar -xvf %u inside or whatever for the service
menus in konqi & that would be FAST!!!
But what if somebody wants to read a certain README
inside a 25 MB or so a bz2 ?
Apps which count on this are SoOOOOOOO SLOOOW going
inside these files.
Think no farther than Krusader, or Gwenview viewing
some icon thumbnails
inside some icon theme archive.
I apologize if i somehow done something wrong or
offended anyone with this post.
I hope this was not a stupid question to ask &
maby someone in the knowhow may respond.
Thank you.
