Hi all,

maybe it's a trivial question but as long as I was doing some test to improve my use of openfoam, it appears that compressed binary results are heavier than ascii ones.

My example is: 9000 elements, 100 steps written, constant+system: 2Mo
Results:
ascii uncompressed: 89Mo compressed (gzip): 35Mo
binary uncompressed: 79Mo compressed (gzip): 66Mo

I was sure before that binary compressed would be lighter. I think it is not really related to OF, but if someone made the same observation or have an explanation, it would take me out of scepticism.

Regards

Julien
