After initial mass LOD generation, is there a big performance difference between LZ4 and LZMA2?
Thanks for the input. A 200GB DH database would make for an insanely huge world as far as I can tell, but I get what you're saying. I think 25GB (LZ4) is far more reasonable of a size for the world we're dealing with (it was generated before DH), and my friends would have no problem at all storing that amount of data. If they did need more storage, it's much easier to upgrade storage than to upgrade motherboard + CPU in the case of systems that don't have any meaningful CPU upgrade options.
Still, if anyone does know how much of a speed impact there is on an older system, I'd be interested to know. I'm curious if it impacts frame rates mainly. Not so much interested in the speed of LOD pop-in unless it is really bad. If the difference is negligible on anything less than 15 years old, then cutting the file size in half would be nice.
