Btw xoft, is it not possible to give the server a option to choose zlib compression level, aka 1 = fast compress high bandwidth, 9 = slow compress, low bandwidth ?
Or even compression strategy ?
compress2 does now give you access to it but altering zlib code itself its quite easy to change it.
I wanted to mess with it see the big differences as on mc classic RLE strategy gives a huge gain in speed and lower bandwidth as well.
Even if current map format is really different, compress speed and map size might still have some gains, also would defining FASTEST give any improvement ?
