MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Max OPF filesize (can smaller text files be counter productive)

I've now tried it and on my PRS-300 it is much slower than a more typical ePub. An ePub usually opens in about 1 second whereas this one takes nearly 10 seconds. It is also much slower paging through it.

So it certainly looks like too many small xhtml files and a corresponding large opf can be bad for performance. I expect newer readers would have less trouble since they are likely to be more powerful than my old Sony.
