Subject: [GD-General] Compress/Uncompress

Hi all,

don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes....

We need compress/uncompress functionality in our server/client
communication.=20

I  have integrated the bz2 compress/uncompress functionality in our
communication so far, and are currently satisfied with it. The bz2 is
freeware. I have run a few test cases and the compressing rate is very =
good,
approx 20-25% better than WinZip .on the few files I tested. The problem =
is
that it is more tan 5 times slower than WinZip, i.e., the performance is =
not
acceptable (?).

Do you know any compress/uncompress software that can be used ?
What is the performance of the Java compress/uncompress methods compared
with WinZip?

Best Regards
Per
