K42.7z

Tell gzip/bzip2/7z/etc not to compress already-compressed files?

Using algorithms like LZ4 is recommended for data that is already compressed, as it prevents inefficient re-compression and speeds up the process, achieving high compression/decompression speeds. K42.7z

7z allows for non-solid mode, which is beneficial when specific files within a large archive need to be accessed quickly, as it reduces the need to decompress the entire archive. K42.7z
