wow that's a fantastic page fulcrum! - i'm going to add a link to it from the archive tool review sidebar right now.

you're right, we need to start adding version #s to programs that are mentioned in our reviews - sometimes we forget that the review lives on past the day it was posted :)

56 hours hehehehehe.

Thanks for adding the site!. And yes version numbers would be nice (are you also thinking about releasing the switches/options used in the test?).

You really did the WinRK - PWCM thing???.   :up:
May I ask which 'Relative Compression Ratio' it would score?. (I asume you let it use the dictionary and at least 500 Mb mem to play with)

Congratulations for this great review!. But I miss two vital pieces of information; the version number for each program tested, and maybe even more important the switches/settings used. They greatly influence speed and compression ratio.

It seems you used an older version for WinRK as they were quite buggy... If you really want to find out the best possible compression use WinRK in PWCM-mode. The complete test will take about 55-60 hours on your PC, but at least you know where the current compression limit is.  ;)

For people looking for the best possible compression (not user friendliness / speed) have a look at my Maximum Compression website found here : http://maximumcompression.com/ it features 'all' top compressors including experimental ones like PAQAR and Durilca. Compression ratio is what counts here...


BTW I think I agree with the three winners you choose (not really sure about TugZip).
