I'm curious about why didn't they compress the SQLite file using gzip. Even in level 1, for superfast compression/decompression halved the file size.


I knew I could do it, I just wanted to make a demo of the whole thing to see if it would have worked in practice. But yes there's space for a lot of improvements like compression and lazy load with sqlite (cited in a comment)


Great! I was honestly wondering because I didn't know if there were any technical limitations/problems, but it's quite interesting nonetheless.
