p7zip also has multi-thread support (multiple-CPU) and EXCELLENT
compression algorithm. I use it to compress some backup and log files
for StarOS wireless routers. Kernel logs are pulled every hour but
contain a lot of redundant info (previous parts of the logs). In that
environment, compression achieved is 10.000%, or 100 times smaller. 10MB
is packed into 100KB.
