When implementing vertex/index decoders in meshoptimizer, the main focus was on lean implementation and decompression performance. When your streaming source is capable of delivering hundreds of megabytes per second, as is the case with SSD drives, and you want to accelerate loading by compressing the data further, you need to be decompressing at multiple hundreds of megabytes per second, ideally a gigabyte, to make sure a small number of CPU cores can keep up with IO. Keeping implementation ...
