-wimlib includes its own compression codecs and does not use the compression API
-available on some versions of Windows.

-I have gradually been improving the compression codecs in wimlib. For XPRESS
-and LZX, they now usually outperform and outcompress the equivalent Microsoft
-implementations. Although results will vary depending on the data being
-compressed, in the table below I present the results for a common use case:
-compressing an x86 Windows PE image. Each row displays the compression type,
-the size of the resulting WIM file in bytes, and how many seconds it took to
-create the file. When applicable, the results with the equivalent Microsoft
-implementation in WIMGAPI is included.
