Disable compression? Why?
This tool is trying to implement the best compression possible, so disabling it would defeat the whole purpose.
7zip and zopfli and special compression methods, they require ‘iteration’ parameter: more iterations means better compression but it will take more time.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
How to disable compression and what is iteration ?

I see. All three types are lossless like a .zip file.
What are the min/max of iterations value ?

Right.
I don't think there are limits, It the code it's something like this:
for (i = 0; i < numiterations; i++)
{
}
with some randomization of parametres inside the loop.

OK, I test and found that the default -i15 is perfect balance time and compress bytes.
