12:55:55 - Selected ARC/DS method for Data1a-01.bin was: xtool:msr22+srep_new:1+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 15:05:33 - Overall output size: 25.52 GB (Ratio 57.90%)
 15:05:33 - Overall conversion time: 02:06:57

Extracted 62 files, 27,398,018,645 => 47,322,268,354 bytes. Ratio 57.90%
Extraction time: cpu 2257.97 sec/real 730.50 sec = 309%. Speed 64.78 mB/s
All OK

liblz4 1.9.3 was used.

Sometimes precompression aborts randomly, even with batch file with different arc.ini settings for -t and -c options (xdelta dll is in place). I don't know if it's a plugin or xtool problem or something else.

PS: --dbase parameter must be removed from xtool settings

Precompression was fine for me (liblz4 v1.9.2, no XDelta DLL present), precomp and decode was flawless.
