Re: [Gtkwave-users] vcd2lxt2 performance writing to NFS disk (fseek & zlib)

[<by...@nc...>]

That option should be safe and it should always be faster/smaller. The
intended purpose of checkpoints (and FST does this as well) is to
allow block splicing tools that allow, for example, chopping the front
and/or back blocks in time off a simulation, but I never wrote them
for LXT2 or FST.

Using vcd2lxt2 --checkpoint=1my 300M vcd test case runs faster and
produces a smaller lxt2 file.
What are the downsides to that? Are results data-dependent (sometimes
slower & larger)?Thanks,-Sto
