LZP2 for Windows => x2.13 @ 280 MB/s

[Yann]

LZP2 is a very fast compressor, designed to reach the pareto frontier, defined by Matt Mahoney as the fastest compressor for a given compression rate, as measured on his public benchmark "Large Text Compression Benchmark".

LZP2 is based on an optimized version of "Predictive LZ" algorithm, invented by Charles Bloom (and described here by Arturo Campos), which is very fast, but unfortunately has low hit-rate capabilities, and therefore offers little compression performance.
The file i/o manager integrates a benchmark for your testing (lzp2 -bench).

v0.5 : LZP2 (win32)
New : Asynchronous I/O (=> Faster global speed)

v0.3 : LZP2 (win32) (=> Synchronous, global time slower, but better CPU bench)
New : Decoded output filename can be chosen into any directory (thanks Sportman)

v0.2
Corrected Pentium III (thanks LovePimple !) and Athlon XP (thanks Sami Rumsas) compatibility.

v0.1
Initial release

1) LZP2 on Large Text Compression Benchmark (Pareto Frontier !)

2) LZP2 benchmarked on SqueezeChart (Fastest compressor !)

3) LZP2 tested on Encode.ru, and more here and here

4) MaximumCompression.com
Only compression ratio is reported. No speed numbers.
Unfortunately, LZP2 does not qualify for the MFC speed contest because it does not meet the minimal compression ratio rule (50%). arf, so long for the speed crown...

5) LZP2 on CompressionRatings.com

6) LZP2 on MOC (Monster of Compression) Single File compressor benchmark

7) LZP2 on Compression Max
