- COMPRESSION RATIO
-
-wimlib (and wimlib-imagex) can create XPRESS, LZX, or LZMS compressed WIM
-archives. The following tables compare the compression ratio and performance
-for creating a compressed x86_64 Windows PE image with XPRESS and LZX. Note:
-these timings were done on Windows so that the times would be fully comparable;
-however, wimlib may have even better performance on other operating systems such
-as Linux. Timings were done with 2 CPUs available, both of which automatically
-are used by wimlib for both XPRESS and LZX, and also by imagex.exe but
-apparently only for LZX.
