Production Info Submitted by WVL on 6 August 2009
LZWVL is a sequence based command-line packer/cruncher that has a little bit worse compression compared to normal crunchers like Byteboozer or Pucrunch, but has a much faster depack.
LZWVL has 2 modes, a fast and a slow mode. The slow mode is only a little bit slower, but has a little bit better compression.
For geek's sake, I made a comparison using 9 different files from the Pearls for Pigs demo. All the 9 bins are compressed with my rle-packer, lzwvl in fast mode, lzwvl in slow mode, byteboozer and pucrunch in data mode.
Here's a graph showing the resulting compression vs # frames it takes to depack :

As you can see I was too lazy to measure how much time Pucrunch took to decrunch, but I'm betting it would be slower than Byteboozer any day ;)
Here's some more hard data :

Note : the depacker detects by itself if the file is in slow or fast mode and is in 64tass format. It also uses an illegal opcode, so you might need to replace that one (lax (zp),y). |
