Interesting. You may want ot take this to the pacman-dev ML. A good "real-world" look might be grabbing the openoffice package and uncompressing it to a folder, and then run the following tests: bsdtar czf package (gzip) bsdtar cjf package (bzip2) <lzma creation of package> and then the similar unzip costs, along with the size of the original folder structure (unzipped package) vs. their zipped counterparts. -Dan
