#21 Increase 7z ratio and speed easilly

[Fabio Chelly]

I have an idea that would increase speed and
compressing ratio without changing anything in the
compressor.

Actually, if I compress XML files in max compression, I
get an archive 3x
bigger than RAR unless if I compress it in command line
and choose manually the PPMD compression.

7-zip would become very powerful if you integrate in the
7z compressor a list of extensions with their best
adapted compressor for each one:
txt,xml,html,csv... = PPMD
exe,dll... = BCJ
jpeg,gif = 0 (or zip for instance)
zip,rar,ace... = 0

This list would be very easy to create, could be freely
distributed and improved by the community.

Or even some sort of "smart detection" based on data inside
