![]() When the compression format changed to LZ4, which is much faster to decompress than zlib, the configure script changed to enable compression by default. Bytecode tends to benefit all around from compression, but the boot files take 20ms or so longer to load --- not a lot of time when loading typical amounts of code, but a signficiant cost for a minimal startup. This commit allows compression to be controlled separately for boot files, and it configures them as uncompressed by default. |
