I receded a flyer from Iterated Systems Inc. describing the benefits from using fractal compression (up to 100 images on a single floppy, or so they claim). I've heard that although decompressing a fractal file is quick, compressing a file can be slow. Does anyone have any experience with fractal compression? Sounds like fractal compression could be a very good thing for all those great TGA files that 3DS cranks out (assuming that compression time is not too painful). Anyone doing a fractal IPAS? Any comments anyone?
