It's also easy to work with.

At least that's how I see it.

I have tried using KGB compressor just for lols and to compare the differences in Compress/Decompress times and, from my personal experience, it's not worth the time nor he nerves.

I'd rather use FreeArc and Compress my game to fit 3-4 DVDs which will be packed in 30 minutes and installed in 10 minutes rather than waiting over night so that I would have 1DVD that would need 1 hour to unpack.
it's clear. Also , as link posted by steninelks said, FreeArc is the program has better compression/time ratio...and this is important for a conversion.
But in the past people maked conversor with lzma+precomp+srep with an optimal compression/time ratio (for example max payne, rage, hitman absolution) that have a 3-4 hour for compression and 30 minutes to install, a good compromise I think, now I see only conversion with a gain of few gb and only LZMA compression, that have 30 minute for compress and 10 minutes to install. I think the more compression is better for storage in a low number of support, because the compression process is long but is once time process.
