@K4miKaZe what the settings for srep and lolz when you install the game...
doofoo24, settings are default except for the thread usage on lolz. Reduced it to 80%, doesnt make much difference in time (at least on some AC games). Thats my default settings on all games for the installer. Srep version and lolz version for decompression is the used on the ASIS Script.

Also, m2f should be faster on installation as you say. The ratio you loose with srep can be fixed a bit more with higher lolz settings but on my case if i go a little bit above on lolz settings it takes a lot more time on compression.Thats not a problem on small games but with huge game size it can be a nightmare. What you can do with srep m3f is a double installer for more and less ram, times should be 20-30% faster on installation. Didnt checked it with gta but with hitman i got it 6 minutes lower on installation.

The Orange Box
 
I already posted many of the games in this pack as standalone but different versions and older game engine.

Code:
Title:          The Orange Box
Version:        v1.0 (no idea if it has a version,its a pack)

PC:              4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz) + 16GB Ram + SSD

Ripped Files:    Nothing

Original Size:  15.9 GB
Compressed Size: 5.24 GB

Method:          msc+srep:m3f on "audio files"
                binkpack+srep:m3f on ".bik files"
                srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 on rest of files
               
Compress Time:  2 hours 53 minutes (10388.71 sec)
Install Time:    5 minutes

CRC Checked:    Yes

Note:
Just a little warning, this game has over 100k of files so using ultraarc
on normal way can take up to 2-3 hours more. Batch compressing works
fine and starts after some seconds.
Code:
Included games in pack:

Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Episode One
Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Portal
Team Fortress 2

i am talking when you limit srep to 2gb
srep m2f more like 200% faster on normal hdd not ssd...:p
No idea, i always use SSD as you can see on all my posts. I posted HDD because it was a request made by an user of this forum so i really have no idea the impact m2f have on a HDD. The only thing i can tell you is that the difference between SSD and HDD should be around 25% for srep and the difference on SSD using 64bit or 32bit srep are something like 30% on speed (maybe because ssd is already fast enough). Thats on my case but you cant go exact with this things. CPU cores, ghz, etc... all matters. Even HDDs can have different speeds (rpm, if its a raid build or not,etc...).

if you have enough ram for decompression srep:m2f and m3f are the same speed, i am talking when you limit srep to 2gb (i need to simplefiy more haha)...
[Srep]
Memory=2048m
TempPath=app

tha one with m3f will create more temp file on hdd/ssd (mean more time to decompress), gta v with m3f need 11gb compare to m2f need 3.8gb, temp file alone for srep-zlib double
Hahaha, the funny thing is that i already answered to your question on my first reply "settings by default" and default settings are "50%-512m" in this case "it uses 2,5gb". Times are around 30 minutes with uncapped installer on SSD and it needs more then 11gb, 13,5gb on this version.

My english is not good at all too, so maybe my fault too, dont worry haha. But i got your point from the start, i know that its faster if you have the ram. Thats because i say to create two installers (thats what i make). But my test main installer is always the limited one and for games like hitman or gta i create later a "more ram" installer with x64 version. But its never 200% faster for me and thats maybe where the drive/disk speed seems to be important (due to the temp files). ;)

Edit: The times are always with the 32bit version, i mean that it can go to the 30 minutes using the x64 version. (not all my pcs have 16gb of ram, and this one i just added two new sticks some days ago).
