Thanks, and you are right to doubt; after a second look:
-is a files archiver with high-compression rates (with high CPU and
memory cost).
+is a high compression file archiver with high CPU and memory cost.
...the latter "high" should be kept parenthetical since it's cautionary.
Attached is an edited patch with:
+is a file archiver with high-compression rates (and high CPU and
memory cost).
The 's/(with/(and/' is optional (or cosmetic), but 'file' should be
singular. I reckon 'files' was to signify that it's not a mere file
compressor, (like 'gzip'), but an archiver/compressor, (like 'zip');
but since 'file' is an adjective modifying the noun 'archiver' it's
singular.
Trivia:
% whatis rar zip lha zoo arj
rar (1) - archive files with compression
zip (1) - package and compress (archive) files
lha (1) - LZH un-archiver
zoo (1) - manipulate archives of files in compressed form
arj (1) - Archiver for .arj files
Interesting how no two are the same.
HTH, and yea, 'dash' is fastest...
