One might need to trace a reason behind a slowdown in some cases where suddenly it takes longer than expected to read or to write case and data files. It might be useful to compare and balance the extra time requried vs space savings for compressed file formats. This attached document provides the means of executing such checks. (benchmark ‘(read-case “filename.cas.gz”)) (print-case-timer) (clear-case-timer) (benchmark ‘(read-data “filename.dat.gz”)) (print-data-timer) (clear-data-timer) Keywords:Case file, Data file, read, reading, time, write, writing time, benchmark
