(Get the code!)
Indeed, on Windows many small files have a tremendous impact not only because of the virus scanner, but also because it bloats the MFT which makes NTFS very slow.
Also, on Notebook harddisks, that's also slow for Linux ;-)
I fully support packing those files into an archive, but if I read #9 correctly, I would say the lacking MNG support of tools is really a problem. Thus, the better way would be simply zipping that stuff up.
It should not be necessary, nor is it useful, to implement both (MNG, then packed in archives) as this increases complexity, doesn't solve the support problem and doesn't improve filesystem parameters.
