| Jan 20, 2015 at 9:51 | comment | added | Szymon Roziewski | Ok, I have done a more comprehensive study on that. What I got is here. I chose some files from my hardrive and made compression with option -4e and -9e. So, it's better to find your best solution by yourself. You were right, for some cases -9e is better whereas for another it's not: no difference = 660 4e better than 9e = 74 9e better than 4e = 17 total files = 751 tar 2 html 2 csv 2 xml 2 gz 2 ppt 2 eps 2 docx 2 gif 2 rpm 3 png 3 asv 3 xlsx 3 exe 3 rar 4 nc 4 txt 5 odt 6 xls 7 zip 7 doc 9 m 12 dat 17 other 109 pdf 133 135 jpg 270 | |

| Jan 16, 2015 at 16:00 | comment | added | psusi | This really doesn't answer the question. This is just an observation that for your particular small data set, -4e already gets the best compression and so the higher levels don't get any more benefit ( and even an ever so slight penalty ). | |
