- Could someone do a performance test on all known C64 crunchers and write the
- results in table form? There should be also some "big machine crunchers", like
- the latest versions of LHArc, ARJ and PKZIP.
-
- There should be two values: one that lists the length of the packed data and
- another that lists the length of the whole resulting file, including SFX
- header. So you could compare just the efficiency of the algorythms or the
- practical results. Multiple test files are a must. One program can pack text
- files efficiently but program files loosely, for instance.
