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).

lzma:a1:mfbt4:d640m:fb273:mc1000:lc8:pb4
And I use 640m dictionary because I have 8gb of ram

seem to me you test it on the only pdf file Manual
i get 2.57gb on forge file with afr+srep+lolz...
i used precomp only nada

Normall, i distribute game in 4 archives, 1st one game data (in this case .forge ) and i used compression method afr+srep+lolz.
2nd contains sound files which (srep+lolz).
3rd contains videos (bpk+srep)
and 4th include .exes .txt pdf some images like .ico .dlls etc (for ur kind info which contains zlib streams ).

and also i compressed .forge files of ac 3 to 2.53gb
