Software compress

Several days ago, I tried to find information about software such as WinZip compress. Finally I found a site that displays the results of the comparison (benchmark) the various techniques compress.

From the results shown that compress the common techniques and have become standard at this time, the zip, have a much efficiency compared with other techniques, although in terms of speed is still faster. Read more can be viewed on the site maximumcompression

One technique that is good between the efficiency and speed is *. 7z Open source software with its 7-zip. Even the 7-zip compress often exceed WinRAR compress. If compared with WinZip clearly better and sometimes the size is smaller than 2x zip. 7-zip also supports compress in other formats such as zip, tar, gzip and bzip2. Ability to read the 7-zip, in addition to supporting the format-format, is also able to read format rar (WinRAR), cab, arj, z, cpio, rpm (Linux package), deb, lzh, split and chm (html help). In addition, the licenses of Open Source also has distinctive advantages.
