crunch
     
        1.  To process, usually in a time-consuming or
        complicated way.  Connotes an essentially trivial operation
        that is nonetheless painful to perform.  The pain may be due
        to the triviality's being embedded in a loop from 1 to
        1,000,000,000.  "Fortran programs do mostly {number
        crunching}."
     
        2.  To reduce the size of a file without losing
        information by a complicated scheme that produces bit
        configurations completely unrelated to the original data, such
        as by a {Huffman} code.  Since such {compression} usually
        takes more computations than simpler methods such as
        {run-length encoding}, the term is doubly appropriate.  (This
        meaning is usually used in the construction "file crunching"
        to distinguish it from {number crunching}.)  Use of {crunch}
        itself in this sense is rare among {Unix} hackers.
     
        3. The {hash character}.  Used at {XEROX} and {CMU}, among
        other places.
     
        4. To squeeze program source to the minimum size that will
        still compile or execute.  The term came from a {BBC
        Microcomputer} program that crunched {BBC BASIC} {source} in
        order to make it run more quickly (apart from storing
        {keywords} as byte codes, the language was wholly interpreted,
        so the number of characters mattered).  {Obfuscated C Contest}
        entries are often crunched; see the first example under that
        entry.
