i notice from the svn commit logs that vvd has run optipng on all the .png images bundled with the ezquake releases

was this discussed anywhere? because when we previously discussed using pngcrush on files a few years back, fuh pointed out that the minor decrease in file size was countered by a large increase in loading times...so i'm not sure its a good idea :-)

I say please don't sacrifice loading time over file size!

tga ftw ;]

i recently noticed increased loading times when loading maps. Is that cause of my new png-hud or the 24bit qrp-textures i added at the same time?
is there some variable that makes it cache stuff?

24bit qrp-textures pk3 compression is the cause imo, just unzip it and rezip it without compression

yes i posted about there here, another gripe

fyi, ezquake team have now reverted the bundled media pngs to minimal compression (zlib level 1), the filesize increase are negligible whilst the loading time decreases are significant
