Compression

[distantcam]

This features compresses the files before embedding them, and uncompresses them automatically right before use.

I've got this working in my own branch, but I'd still like to add a few features and discuss it before pushing to main.

• Compressing of auto-embedded resources.
• Updated loaders to read compressed resources.
• Config option to turn off compression completely.
• [ ] Config option to turn off compression per assembly.

First question, should compression be on or off by default?

Second, how should the per assembly config work? Flip the default or specify it explicitly as an override?

[SimonCropp]

why would you want to config per assembly?

[distantcam]

Just covering the bases. So you think it won't be needed?

[SimonCropp]

Just cant think of a case that people would only compress some assemblies.
The only thing is some very small files dont get much out of compression. but modern compression algorithms take this into account so not our problem

[SimonCropp]

BTW what r u using for compression

[distantcam]

Just DeflateStream. I've used it before and it's fine. Quick enough to not have a noticeable speed hit.
