XTool, Precomp, or any ZLIB precompressor?

You have to find out for yourself what the effective precompressor will be. For example, I check from now on like this ^^

Project CARS 2 v7.1.0.1

Start Size: 51GB
  • *.bff
    Code:
    bdt+xtool_kraken+srep+lolz
  • Bink videos:
    Code:
    bpk
  • Everything else:
    Code:
    srep+razorx
Final Size: 23.4GB

Notes:
  • Using Project CARS 2 oodlerec build will of course be much smaller, but it takes long time... xtool is so much faster at the expense of packed size.
