Hi AFNI-land,
I was wondering – when AFNI loads in gzipped BRIKs, does it gunzip to disk temporarily and then read into memory or does it read the gzipped BRIK into memory and then unzipped?

OR my specific question is – if disk read speed is the limiting factor over RAM and CPU speeds, would it be potentially faster to read in gzipped BRIKs?

Thanks!
Patti
