@Jonathan_Blow @cmuratori Calling PAK/WAD files "virtual filesystems" is common usage though? (And, on Linux, often done via a FUSE FS!)
@rygorous It's not just that though, it's also the fact that seeking in a large file can be traversing all sorts of stuff at the FS layer.

@cmuratori The only thing that traverses is the inode + allocation blocks/extent tree though. -
@cmuratori For separate files you have a lot of wasted space in the kernel memory cache there, for PAK files you don't. - Show replies
