Question

By default, data items of usage binary or comp are stored in big-endian form. On those machines whose native byte order is little-endian, this is not quite efficient.

If you prefer, you can store binary items in the native form of your machine. Set the config option binary-byteorder to native in your config file (see Customize).

In addition, setting the option binary-size to 2-4-8 or 1-2-4-8 is more efficient than others.
