Best compressor is near right bottom corner. Drag mouse to change time balance on Y axis


Marks:
* there are no another compressor, that compress better with faster compression and decompression speed.
' non public compressor.
Rating is calculated as a time required to compress file, transmit
it using 28000 bps connection and decompess file back.
