Summary
| Description |
English: This is a comparison of popular compression formats by how many nanoseconds it takes to compress each format. The horizontal scale shows tens of kilobytes.
To recreate run this on a Linux computer: for testnum in $(seq 0 256); do
testnum=$(expr $testnum '*' 10)
for archiver in bzip2 lzma xz gzip lzip lzop lrzip; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=$testnum.zero bs="$testnum"'k' count=1
$archiver $testnum.zero
rm $testnum.zero
c=$(date +%s%N)
$archiver -d $testnum.zero.*
d=$(date +%s%N)
total=$(echo $d-$c | bc)
echo $total >> $archiver
rm $testnum.zero *.bz2 *.lzma *.gz *.xz *.lzo *.lz *.lrz
done
done
