top | item 31325181 (no title) denzquix | 3 years ago From their own benchmarks it seems more like bzip3 is geared towards a different compression/speed trade-off than bzip2, rather than an unambiguous all-around improvement. Am I misreading it? discuss order hn newest once_inc|3 years ago That's what I took out of it too. Sacrificed a bit of speed and a lot of memory for a smaller output size.edit: ah, bzip3 is parallelizable, while bzip2 isn't. That alone is enough for me to be able to claim 'faster'. thilog|3 years ago bzip2 can exploit concurrency through pbzip2, can't it? load replies (2)
