Hi /prog/,

I just finished on my "proof of concept" of a new compression algorithm, and frankly it's awesome.

At current guesstimations I could compress a 10MB file to about ~4MB in less than 30 seconds (Probably less than 5 seconds but I'm being cautious).

To decompress will take about a day. A whole day. Though I'm 100% certain that I could halve that time by using two cores, and CUDA/OpenCL/etc probably couldn't hurt either but I couldn't make a judgement on those.

So basically in 10 years time when we have 64+ cores and new super GPUs it'll be awesome right?

I'm not really into this sort of thing - so I wouldn't know, it was just a "could this really work?" on an idea I had.

I did think that getting to 40% of the original size was pretty good since I thought RZip only got around 65-70% usually.

The whole point of this thread was that the decompression times are HILARIOUSLY BAD, and it is kind of dissappointing that people seem to be taking this so seriously.
