Current compressing techniques guidance

MSC should be used *ONLY* for multimedia data and delta should be used *ONLY* for exe and wav files, applying delta for normal game files will cause worse ratio, and without multimedia data, msc can't do anything.
MSC should come first, then pzlib, then srep and at last lzma/lolz

Thank you. The thing about DELTA is that, that on my witchersave testfile I got better compression with precompv46+srep393a+DELTA+lzma2 compared to precompv46+srep393a+lzma2. Any Idea why? Or is that the exception that confirms the rules?
