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