BufferedStreamSize property

Applies to

TVCLUnZip component

Declaration

property BufferedStreamSize: Integer;

Description

BufferedStreamSize is the size of the buffer that the Buffered File Stream uses.  By default, all files that VCLZip opens are buffered.  If you have NOSTREAMBUFF defined then this propery has no effect.  This has it's biggest effect on the speed that zip files are written to floppy or other slow media.  The default value for this property is $8000  (32k) 

To increase the speed when writing to floppy disk you may want to try setting this value to $20000 (128k). 

The default should be good for your average zipping and unzipping, but you may tweak this to best suit your application.
