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

[Fak Eid]

So, I have a question here:

The problem with kraken compressor is that it takes a lot of CPU memory and takes lot of time to extract.

So, while trying to compress GTA Trilogy using kraken:8, it takes around 45 mins to install all three games on average PC. Is there anyway to speed up the extraction process by adding a pre-compressor to the algo?

The Oodle family of compression algorithms are very CPU intensive. You can't speed it up.

XTool or Oodlereck, which processes the kraken streams, is the precompressor. Precompressors decompress data and compress it back during installation.
