Comment 16 for bug 535806

I am going to test this on win32 this weekend, in my opinion the number of those single png files had always a big perfomance impact (install time/loading time). Don't forget most win users have always a virus scan engine active. All games i know use some form of container format (MPQ,BSP, etc...).

And i don't agree with Nasenbaer, 12 to 15 seconds does mean an improvement of 20%, and the 5 vs 6 seconds is still a 13% speed improvement. I think this would worth the trouble to run those scripts which do the packing and building mngs for release. This combined with zip files for world/tribes conf files should help a lot...
