Why do you hate yourself?

Good question. WTF are all those other compression formats anyway? Why use them?

that stupid graph is making zip look better than anything else

You sure don't know anything about compression I assume.

just install 7zip on windows 10 like normal person.

I use unar for that. It works perfectly.

and you do? interesting, please share your kNoWlEdGe with the rest of us

Hes smart enough to read a trendline, unlike you. When the bottom left in a 2D problem is the optimal solution, draw a trendline, find the solution that is the farther from the trendline.

There is something to say about 7zip though. If you dont care about how long it takes (you are actually archiving), 7zip is your best bet, for more temporary compression, deflate all day.

And of course there is a 3rd dimension that important to servers, and that's RAM utilization. And it simplifies everything because there are typically quite a few different compression settings per algo/format.

Some are very old, implemented everywhere and are good enough. Some are good at reducing CPU or memory use in exchange for speed or size. Others are just retarded *cough* rar *cough*

So zip is the best for the general case, unless you REALLY need compression, in which case 7zip.

Isn't this graph like 12 years old?

If you compare speed to compression ratio, rar is much better than 7z

And it is if you want speed.

What's this and I use xz when I need more space.

not according to the graph at hand

I know that source games use bz2 for compressing custom content

lets discuss more
