-                               COMPRESSION RATIO
-
-wimlib (and wimlib-imagex) can create XPRESS, LZX, or LZMS compressed WIM files.
-wimlib's compression codecs usually outperform and outcompress their Microsoft
-equivalents.  Although results will vary depending on the data being compressed,
-the table below shows results for a common use case: creating an x86 Windows PE
-image ("boot.wim").  Each row shows the compression type, the size of the
-resulting WIM file in bytes, and the time it took to create the file.  When
-possible, the results with the Microsoft equivalent are included.

-Notes:
-   [1] '--compress=none' for wimlib-imagex; '/compress:none' for DISM.
-
-   [2] '--compress=XPRESS' for wimlib-imagex; '/compress:fast' for DISM.
-       Compression chunk size defaults to 32768 bytes in both cases.
-
-   [3] '--compress=XPRESS:80' for wimlib-imagex; no known equivalent for DISM.
-       Compression chunk size defaults to 32768 bytes.

-   [4] '--compress=LZX:20' for wimlib-imagex; no known equivalent for DISM.
-       Compression chunk size defaults to 32768 bytes.
-
-   [5] '--compress=LZX' or '--compress=LZX:50' or no option for wimlib-imagex;
-       '/compress:maximum' for DISM.
-       Compression chunk size defaults to 32768 bytes in both cases.
-
-   [6] '--compress=LZX:100' for wimlib-imagex; no known equivalent for DISM.
-       Compression chunk size defaults to 32768 bytes.
-
-   [7] '--compress=LZMS' for wimlib-imagex; no known equivalent for DISM.
-       Compression chunk size defaults to 131072 bytes.
-
-   [8] '--solid' for wimlib-imagex.  Should be '/compress:recovery' for DISM,
-       but only works for /Export-Image, not /Capture-Image.  Compression chunk
-       size in solid resources defaults to 67108864 bytes in both cases.
-
-   [9] '--wimboot' for wimlib-imagex; '/wimboot' for DISM.
-       This is really XPRESS compression with 4096 byte chunks, so the same as
-       '--compress=XPRESS --chunk-size=4096'.
-
-   [10] '--wimboot --compress=XPRESS:80' for wimlib-imagex;
-        no known equivalent for DISM.
-        Same format as [9], but trying harder to get a good compression ratio.
-
-Note: wimlib-imagex's --compress option also accepts the "fast", "maximum", and
-"recovery" aliases for XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS, respectively.
-
-Testing environment:
-
-    - 64 bit binaries
-    - Windows 10 virtual machine running on Linux with VT-x
-    - 4 CPUs and 4 GiB memory given to virtual machine
-    - SSD-backed virtual disk
-    - All tests done with page cache warmed
-
-The compression ratio provided by wimlib is also competitive with commonly used
-archive formats.  Below are file sizes that result when the Canterbury corpus is
-compressed with wimlib (v1.8.3), WIMGAPI (Windows 8.1), and some other
-formats/programs:
