To be honest I have no clue how to properly configure xtool/arc.ini

From precomp 046, it's a complete compressor, not only a precompressor, so it will give better result on small files and when you have compression on. To use xtool, you must use xtool+srep+lzma(or xtool+srep+lolz) to get better ratio, else it will just inflate files, not compress, plus xtool isn't complete yet, it's a beta tool, it has bugs.
