Personally, I would use 'xz -9' if I wanted high compression, it works better with UNIX type systems Systems.

- HelloNurse 3y agoOn Windows there's a fair chance of mixing up three variants: command line (7z.exe), GUI (7zFM.exe) and alternative command line with GUI dialogs (7zG.exe).
- jmclnx 3y agoFWIW, I decided to compare the compress size between xz(1) and a very large 7z file, using 'xz -9'. Sizes: * uncompress: 36,495,045,244 * gz: 18,729,830,001 * xz: 16,739,567,484 * 7z: 16,257,755,606 7z ended up being about 480 meg smaller, in a way that was a bit unexpected. I was expecting xz to be slightly smaller. Also, this process took about 15 hours.
