I'm asking here question not directly related to Clojure, but related to the JVM:
Is there any alternative (ClassLoader?) to store the .class files in a different compressed format?.NET can store lots of classes in one assembly? Is there something like that for JVM? For example right now clojure.jar is 1.5MB, but that's because JAR (which is ZIP based) is inefficient when storing lots of small (.class) files. Instead a solid archive (.tar.gz) is more efficient. The size goes to 0.5MB when compressed like that. Same for clojure-contrib.jar - from 2mb .jar goes down to 1mb .tar.gz - so instead of 3.5mb it goes down to 1.5MB in total. Anyone has an insight (I myself am Java newbie), but I'm concerned with the size of it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
