I made some test on multiple of the compression algorithms and tools found on linux.
## Test setup
The algorithms were tested on the following situations:
<!-- The algorithms were tested on the following situations:
- **Lots of data with mixed types and sizes:** A lot of various types of files of varying sizes. The total size of all the files is 4.36 GiB
- **Non-compressible data:** A lot of barely compressible files, in thes case jpeg images. The total size of all the files is 0.62 GiB
- **A lot of many small text files:** A lot of small text files, all the files are under 1MB in size. The total size of all the files is 0.96 GiB
- **A few text files:** A few text files. The total size of all the files is 9.54 MiB
- **A few mixed files:** A few files varying in size and type. The total size of all the files is 6.66 MiB
- **A few mixed files:** A few files varying in size and type. The total size of all the files is 6.66 MiB -->
The algorithms have been tested with the [canterbury corpus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canterbury_corpus). Downloaded from [this repository](https://github.com/pfalcon/canterbury-corpus).
The algorithms tested were the following:
- XZ
@@ -72,337 +73,270 @@ All the tables have the next categories:
- **Compession:** The compression rate after the process. Higher is better.
- **Time normalized compression:** The compression normalized to the time obtained ny dividing the compression by the time. Higher is better.
