I tried the repack feature a bit and it seems that apitrace repack --brotli=2 <input>.trace <output>.trace is a good compromise. The default compression level is extremely slow and this setting was fast and halved the trace size.
@K0bin maybe add something like this to the apitrace section in the wiki:
Compress the .trace file by either utilizing `apitrace repack --brotli=2 <input>.trace <output>.trace` (can be done with the Linux version) or with an external tool in a common file format like `.tar.xz`. Then share it using a common file sharing service like Google Drive or Mega.
@K0bin please update also version for Windows! Thanks
yeah the apitrace version to download is outdated in the windows section
Done.
Nothing extracted yet.
New version 11.1
Also instead of using not so effective xz, please rather point users to using
apitrace repack -bwhich enable brotli compression (or see https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace/issues/656#issuecomment-621347127 for other compression algo recomendations)
