Re: Why do base objects appear behind the delta in packs?

From a data locality perspective putting the base object before

is useless without the base.  So placing the base immediately
before the delta should perform just as well as placing it after.
Either way the OS should have the base in cache by the time the
delta is being accessed.

_Should_ perform? Have you got any measurements of speed of creating "base
before delta" pack, and reading objects from this kind of pack?
