I am actually surprised to see precomp, we already have pzlib to apply on zlibbed file, what's the use of precomp these days unless you need packmp3/packjpg?

I guess u havent scanned the exes etc with zlib scanner, Almost in 99% of cases they contain zlib streams whech inturn reduces their compression 5 to 10mb.

pzlib doent work on every files. for eg. the files from COD black ops, precomp works on them while pzlib not.

Did you tried with reflate libs?

Plus monster compression isn't worth that much for me, adding some more minutes only to reduce 2-5mb

yeah i tried with reflate libs too.

when u r targetting perfection in compression, u didnt want to leave anything behind. BTW when exe's size is >150mbs u can achieve more.

precomp doesnt add mimytes to decompress them, only 1 to 2 seconds.
