rzip is a compression program that is similar to gzip and bzip2.
|
||
|
|
The primary difference is that rzip is able to exploit long
|
||
|
|
distance redundancies in files, which enables rzip to produce
|
||
|
|
much better compression ratios (sometimes). However, the
|
||
|
|
drawbacks of rzip are that one cannot pipeline rzip and it is
|
||
|
|
very memory-intensive.
