So @rl_dane introduced #bzip3 to me to use instead of #bzip2. Let's turn some bz2 files into bz3 to see the difference.

First example: 90k opus files

hey snips wake word dataset. It has ~90k opus files and a tar file of 3.1GB. bzip2 produces the same 3.1GB which is as expected. bzip3 created 3.0GB but used tons of computation power. Not worth the 100MB

Second example: Windows 7 virtual box VM image

Windows7.vdi it's Windows 7 VM image for the "special" days. I think I have to get rid of it. But while it is still there, let's see how each will perform. It is 16GB uncompressed. bzip2 -9 is 7.0GB. bzip3 is 6.3GB but at the expense of like 3x CPU time. Deleting all of them anyway. Down with Windows.

Third example: Pure XML text file

Pure XML file. It's Persian and English characters. Uncompressed is 1.7GB. bzip2 -9 is 276M while bzip3 is 260MB

Final example: Creating a simple bomb

So I did this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=./justzero bs=2G count=6

So now I have a 16GB with only zero bytes. bzip2 -9 is 672KB. bzip3 is 46KB.

Conclusion

Thank you @rl_dane

Real nice thing!

Hey Webdevs,

it's suprisingly common that users post media that is already well compressed. If you auto-compress everything, please check whether the compressed version is actually smaller than the input.

Otherwise you will end up with worse content, that also uses more resources.

Thank you for your time! :)
