- In article <9301036312@ritz.mordor.com> you write (in reference to
- freeze):
-
- : It does a significantly better job of shrinking files. I typically
- : get archives that are 20-30% smaller than compress can produce.
- : I'm not sure how behaved it is under low memory conditions, as I have
- : lots. :-) I am tempted to think that it will be a little more of a
- : memory hog than compress as it uses 18-bit compression rather than
- : 16-bit.
-
- I've noticed from looking at ps while it runs that freeze seems to
- take up about 600+K vs. compress which uses about 200+K of RAM.
