It really excels when you're trying to compress a large number of files that are all somewhat similar to each other. For example, a complete collection of NES roms is a wonderful thing for 7zip to compress. I just compressed my rom collection into a .7z and a .zip file. The .zip file reduced the filesize by 50%, the .7z reduced filesize by 63%. That can add up to a lot of bandwidth saved for both server and downloader for a file that large.

How does it compare to RAR. Or ARJ. Or LHA. Or GZ. Or TAR. Or ACE. Or ZOO. Or CAB. Or PAK. Or WAD. Or LZH. Or JAR. Or ARC.? Charts plz.
