COMPRESSION RATIO
wimlib can create XPRESS or LZX compressed WIM archives. As of wimlib v1.0.3,
It has been tested on x86 (32-bit) GNU/Linux occasionally.
-wimlib may work on FreeBSD. However, this is not well tested. If you do not
-have libntfs-3g 2011-4-12 or later available, you must configure with
---without-ntfs-3g. Also, GNU coreutils is needed to run the test suite. Before
-mounting a WIM you need to load the POSIX message queue module (run `kldload
-mqueuefs').

wimlib should work on big endian machines but it has not been tested.
