These (for obvious reasons) were performed on the same system as the others were in my previous reply: # time ~/lzma-4.32.7/src/lzma/lzma linux-2.6.26.3-olpc.tar real 9m26.749s user 9m19.044s sys 0m0.807s # ls -lh -rw-r----- 1 turtle turtle 74M Sep 17 02:11 linux-2.6.26.3-olpc.tar.lzma # time ~/lzma-4.32.7/src/lzma/lzma -d linux-2.6.26.3-olpc.tar.lzma real 0m16.384s user 0m10.643s sys 0m1.127s The lzma utils just barely squeezes past lzip in performance in all cases, including size. -- Kevin Day
