Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

The only thing I'm confusd about is do I have to make/edit the arc.groups file manually or was the example just an example for explaination.

I added arc.groups for you myself, but if you want to make future groupings, you must make them. If you don't have any issues, stick with what you have.

Thanks for doing that.
Now, just tell me the last thing, the settings I used have yielded me to 22% without errors, so should I use what you sent me or let CIU run its course and then create the setup using asis?

I'm thinking of making another virtual machine and running what you sent me there, my current machine runs Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 4cores @2.70 Ghz with 8gb ram.
Can I cheap out on cores and use a dual core AMD Epyc 7452 dual core @2.40Ghz for that with 8gb as well. I know the task is cpu intensive hence virtual cpu's are already slowing me down significantly.
I don't expect 2 cores do the task at same time but just an hour or so more would not hurt as much and would be half the cost of 4 cores on Azure and if the time difference would be more than that then 4cores it is.

I'd just let it run the course now.
