Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 108381
Per-file HFS+ compression (Mac OSX 10.6)
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:33:06 UTC
Besides saving disk space, this could potentially increase start-up time. I haven't tested this, however. The Firefox people note 57% file size reduction and a start-up time saving of 1 or 2 sec. OO is 8 times larger than FF. I wonder how this would translate for OO? From what I read in the FF bug description, the compression would apply to 10.6, but still be backward compatible with 10.5 (however with no compression).
