I suspect I will have to change the format somehow. The sha1 (ascii) digests for 16817 files take: 689497 bytes before compression 397475 bytes after minigzip The pathnames, relative to top of tree, for these 16817 files take: 503983 bytes before compression 85786 bytes after minigzip compression I doubt any fancifying up of the pathname storage will gain much. However going from binary to ascii sha1 digest might help (compresses better, I suspect - I'll have to write a few lines of code to see). -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
