The p-Code Machine

When compressing data we all know we have several options, gzip most commonly used or bzip2 when we need better ratios. Recently we have also seen the introduction of lzma, which is horribly slow by default but gets us amazing ratios.

That said, when compressing your next file, you might want to consider trying lzma -2, it compresses slightly better than bzip2 –best, while still being approximately as fast as gzip –best… Seems like a nice trade off…
