Inspired by the latest change that added the --bzip2 option to
make-dist, I did the same for --lzma and ran a short benchmark to
compare the results with the various compressors. Here is a summary of
the results for `make-dist --snapshot' in the Emacs trunk on my
machine¹:
Option creation time (s) tarball size (B) unpacking time (s)
------- ----------------- --------------- ------------------
(none) 30.45 39,821,789 3.49
--bzip2 84.28 31,947,657 26.34
--lzma 338.23 26,797,729 7.71
It seems that the lzma format would be a very good candidate for
distribution tarballs, if only it were more widespread; information and
downloads are available at http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html.
