XTool - Successor of ZTool

wow how many masters and experts in compression lately here in the forum, it's been a while that I'm not here in the forum, it's not about ease of use for people, it's about knowing whether or not to insert the DLL for decompression, "Faster Processing" explain to me what it means because the decompression speed is the same, since we are talking about decompression and not compression.

If I remember correctly, razor once said that internal processing can be actually slower at certain stages when compared to its usage with external libraries. I might be wrong but thats what I remember. Plus I am not even sure what internal libraries are present in xtool, only razor knows, maybe reflate libraries are not present. With ZTool, I noticed size was better with external libraries in some cases and faster too, but its XTool so who knows, maybe Razor improved it. But one thing I can tell, its always better with the external libraries so I don't see the problem in using them.

But really the main reason for internal libraries is for the ease of people. Razor implemented the internal libraries so that processing will still work in case people don't even put the dlls at the correct places, that was the main reason I think.
