Exemplary embodiments provide for compressing, storing, retrieving and decompressing paged code from mass storage devices. By evaluating the size of compressed virtual pages relative to the storage page (read unit) of the mass storage device into which the compressed virtual pages are to be stored, decisions can be made which facilitate later read out and decompression of those compressed virtual pages. According to exemplary embodiments, a virtual page can be stored uncompressed, compressed but undivided or compressed and subdivided into a plurality of parts based on an evaluation. |
