Description of the gzip-b method
gzip (20-Sep-1996)
gzip 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93)
Compilation options:
DIRENT UTIME STDC_HEADERS HAVE_UNISTD_H
Three different tests are reported:
The --fast option tries to minimise the time taken, and
is equivalent to a parameter value of 1 (gzip-f).
The --best option tries to maximise compression, and
is equivalent to a paremeter of 9 (gzip-b).
The default parameter is 6 (gzip-d), which seems to give the best of
both worlds.
