Your probably right about sorting filespecs/patterns but that would entail a
fairly large change in the logic of the dll (and a lot of
rewriting/debugging) . The actual time taken could be at least halved if the
matching was only done once (it's done at least twice that I know of - once
to add up sizes and once to actually extract the file but it might be done
again to see if the pattern matches anything [I have not found this bit
yet]), but again this would entail many changes.
As I said I am working on a windows-like change in pattern matching, so I am
open for any idea's as to how it should work.
