- LHarc DOES have a 'fast mode' which involves simply 'storing' the
- files - so, I didn't bother testing it, as for archival purposes, it's
- use is very limited.
-
- I know that ZOO's lack of speed has been known for a while - and I
- never said it was a new discovery, I was merely showing it for
- comparison purposes. Besides, there are always new users out there!
-
- ZIP's compression technique is not Lh5 - it has a completely different
- technique - which is basically 'Implode' except it tries harder!
