@ -121,8 +121,7 @@ Q. I want the absolute maximum compression I can possibly get, what do I do?
A. Try the command line options "-Uzp 1 -L 9". This uses all available ram and
ZPAQ compression, and even uses a compression window larger than you have ram.
The -p 1 option disables multithreading which improves compression but at the
expense of speed. Expect serious swapping to occur if your file is larger than
your ram and for it to take many times longer.

Q. I want the absolute fastest decent compression I can possibly get.
A. Try the command line option -l. This will use the lzo backend compression,

Q. What CFLAGS should I use?
A. With a recent enough compiler (gcc>4) setting both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to
-O3 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer
-O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer
Q. What compiler does this work with?
A. It has been tested on gcc, ekopath and the intel compiler successfully
@ -292,10 +291,6 @@ A. Yes, that's the nature of the compression/decompression mechanism. The jump
is because the rzip preparation makes the amount of data much smaller than the
compression backend (lzma) needs to compress.
Q. The percentage counter doesn't always get to 100%.
A. It's quite hard to predict during the rzip phase how long it will take as
lots of redundant data will not count towards the percentage.
Q. Tell me about patented compression algorithms, GPL, lawyers and copyright.
A. No
