Re: Hollywood 11: Coderise - dodatki
@R-Tea,

I made some comparisons with RNOEffects 2.1 before releasing it, but decided to go with an uncompressed standard executable after all.
RNOEffects uses quite many libraries from Hollywood and, for example, 68k+fpu version is 2.9MB uncompressed and 1.7MB when compiled with Miniwood + compressed.
The compressed one was slower to start and consumed roughly about 1MB more memory, because it has to decompress the libraries first. So you pay something for the smaller executable size. While I have quite large plugins in the distribution too, I thought that the size difference isn't that important and I didn't sacrifice the speed and memory footprint for that.
I guess using Miniwood could be better for smaller projects that don't use that many Hollywood libraries, so it has to be checked per project if it's reasonable to use or not. And for which platform you aim it. But I'm not going to release everything with smaller exe just for it.
