Today we wanted to test ways, to optimize the download of files to android phones.
The first way we tried, is the most obvious method of using a little less of everything (bandwith, battery, cpu, backlight, time? etc), compression. Image source.
But what about speed? Is it worth to sacrifice the app's speed for using less bandwith? How much slower is compressing/decompressing files on a phone anyway?
Read on to find out.
