044 when works give the smaller final size, but 042 is faster than 044.

Example from test with 115mb file from Darksiders:

038= 88mb in 141sec
042= 88mb in 103sec
044= 82mb in 151sec

But i compressed full game(Darksiders) with 038 and 044. With full game 038 was much slower to finish, like 5+hours and final size was 7,03gb. 044 take around 3 hours to finish and final size was 6,60gb.

Bad thing is, decompressing 044 take 50 minutes while 038 take only 30 minutes.

which version "packjpg_dll.dll" did you use on precomp 0.38?
because there are many kind of "packjpg_dll.dll" version. and that is why the time and size can change on the same precomp.exe(for example 0.38)

if you want to use Jpeg compression, you should chose packjpg_dll.dll(137 kb)
buti if you want to skip that, you can use the OTHERs (9-10 kb)
