Seems interesting, I thought reflate can precompress better than precomp. Which precomp version are you using?

precomp 038.
i guess any version of precomp works on them but not pzlib.
pzlib has some problems like too much ram utilization during compression and decompression. use of chunk(main problem) because u have to find the exact chuck for games. In reflate part of pzlib, u can only set level manually, u cant set memory, windowsbits, parameters, I guess which causes creation of diff file and hence makes compression worse(in some cases).
pzlib hase many good things as well like faster decompression, compression, multithreading( i have no idea why the pzlib is only a bit faster in decompression than precomp).

pzlib e -rx -x

lzma:a1:mfbt4:d640m:fb273:mc1000:lc8:pb4

Nice

at least ztool's other codecs apart from pzlib still work on something newer.

Yes, but ztool is very unstable (at least lz4). It just hang now for over 3 hours on a single file.

I have just tested with standard params (no parameters were given). Will try with different parameters instead.

plz4 and these other codecs were roughly the same as pzlib v2, full of bugs. even pzlib in 0.0.19.8 is buggy, hence the 0.0.19.8 version, versions before version 1, it was an alpha release, version one was planned where everything would have been refined.

The encoder of plz4 was updated in May 2017 I think, so you can see, there was inactivity in that codec because I was so obsessed with adding a lot of other codecs, plzo, pzstd and etc.
