For the grabber it would probably hurt, and for the dat tool as
well. I'll readily admit that it doesn't happen often, but when you
use dat to generate datafiles with lots of images like we did for our
Electron project, it takes quite some time.


i had no idea it would be used to the point of needing optimz.
i sort of got the impression it would be like using ZIP, where it packs 1meg in under 10 seconds. if your using it from the command line, it takes more than 10 seconds to type the command line!
