Re: 11 data compression programs compared

This article only shows compression speeds. I would argue that decompression
speeds are generally more interesting. We often download compressed files
and just need to decompress them. Also, when we do need to compress files
(for e.g. archiving purposes) this kind of job can often be scheduled at a
moment when time comes cheap (during the night for instance).
