Timothy Arceri 85a9b1b562 util/disk_cache: compress individual cache entries
This reduces the cache size for Deus Ex from ~160M to ~30M for
radeonsi (these numbers differ from Grigori's results below
probably due to different graphics quality settings).

I'm also seeing the following improvements in minimum fps in the
Shadow of Mordor benchmark on an i5-6400 CPU@2.70GHz, with a HDD:

no-cache:                    ~10fps
with-cache-no-compression:   ~15fps
with-cache-and-compression:  ~20fps

Note: The with cache results are from the second run after closing
and opening the game to avoid the in-memory cache.

Since we mainly care about decompression I went with
Z_BEST_COMPRESSION as suggested on irc by Steinar H. Gunderson
who has benchmarked decompression speeds.

Grigori Goronzy provided the following stats for Deus Ex: Mankind
Divided start-up times on a Athlon X4 860k with a SSD:

No Cache                                 215 sec

Cold Cache zlib BEST_COMPRESSION         285 sec
Warm Cache zlib BEST_COMPRESSION         33 sec

Cold Cache zlib BEST_SPEED               264 sec
Warm Cache zlib BEST_SPEED               33 sec

Cold Cache no compression                266 sec
Warm Cache no compression                34 sec

The total cache size for that game is 48 MiB with BEST_COMPRESSION,
56 MiB with BEST_SPEED and 170 MiB with no compression.

These numbers suggest that it may be ok to go with Z_BEST_SPEED
but we should gather some actual decompression times before doing
so. Other options might be to do the compression in a separate
thread, this might allow us to use a higher compression algorithim
such as LZMA.

File: docs/README.WIN32

Last updated: 21 June 2013


Quick Start
----- -----

Windows drivers are build with SCons.  Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
no longer shipped or supported.

Run

  scons libgl-gdi

to build gallium based GDI driver.

This will work both with MSVS or Mingw.


Windows Drivers
------- -------

At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work.

Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.

Recipe
------

Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are
steps that work as of this writing.

- install python 2.7
- install scons (latest)
- install mingw, flex, and bison
- install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
- install git
- download mesa from git
  see https://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html
- run scons

General
-------

After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32.  If you don't like putting things
in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
executable(s).  Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.

The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
stdcall calling convention.

Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
the linker import files associated with the DLL files.

The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
mainly to get the better tessellator code.

If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
