Summary[edit]

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 $(seq 1 256); do
    testnum=$(expr $testnum '*' 10)
    for archiver in bzip2 lzma xz gzip lzip lzop lrzip; do
        dd if=/dev/zero of=$testnum.zero bs="$testnum"'k' count=1
        c=$(date +%s%N)
        $archiver $testnum.zero
        d=$(date +%s%N)
        total=$(echo $d-$c | bc)
        echo $total >> $archiver
        rm $testnum.zero *.bz2 *.lzma *.gz *.xz *.lzo *.lz *.lrz
    done
done

Metadata

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it.
