hi,
Recently I have tested Compress vs Gzip 1.2.4 on Sun Solarais 2.5.1.
I have faced a strange results: while Compress shrinked the 2GB File
into 160MB file within 10 minutes, gzip needed 51 minutes to compress
the file to 130MB. Using gzip -1 leaded to only a bit better result of
20 minutes compression time.
Is it due to a different compression algorithem? Do you prefer, indeed,
using Compress while on Unix?
thanks
