So what I take from those figures is that the best in the field are only just better than half again as effective at compression as my old stalwart compressors (gzip and a copy of WinRAR I bought 4 years ago), and less than 10% better if you take speed into account.
Not really an incentive to buy these 'advanced' and considerably more expensive compressors. I'll stick with the free and old versions thanks.
