- Archiving some text files it took about 2.1 seconds with 32-bit zip
- 1.9 and about 9.4 seconds with HPACK 0.78 (also 32-bit). That's a
- factor of four to five. Not a problem with OS/2 (put it in the
- background) unless you want to archive, say, gcc-2.3.2.tar or
- something of similar size. :-)
