I started it 2 hours ago, it says 12 hours now (should be a bit more, if its going to be as origin i think that due to the lower size it should be 16-17 hours). Same settings as always on my ac games and same machine (4 cores at 3.9GHz, 8GB Ram and SSD but SSD doesnt matter, maybe its 1 minute faster due to the first temp creation).

Will post tomorrow the complete results with compression and installation times as always. Time to go to bed, hope its ready when i wake up but i dont think so hahaha.

Edit: Its almost done, total time will be around 15 hours, when i get back to home i will post install time but it looks very good.

mtb64m is wrong.
Anyway, Lolz calculates him as mtb512m.

Yeah, im using myself now d128 and mc1023 (on little games d64 and mc1023 because the gain is not much). Have tried in the past bigger dictionary sizes but the gain was not worth (much more time consuming). On lzma2 in other hand (thats what i used before i got into inno setup and ultraarc) the dictionary size was very important but it tooks a lot of time too. I think lolz is overall better compressor, maybe a little bit slower than lzma on compress times but on install times its nice and have almost better ratio.
