Benchmarking Compression Programs
My main question is: which program should I use for compression?
The answer is not very simple.
It’s rather obvious that it will take longer to compress a bigger file than a smaller one. But will that be twice longer for a twice bigger file?
Are you able to sacrifice compressing a file for another hour just to make it a little bit smaller?
What about decompressing time?
Is it true that decompressing time depends on the compression level?
