  • No compression: the zip file won’t compress anything. This can improve compression time and is recommended for big folders. (Compression time ~600 MB/s)

  • Bzip2: not recommended. Can result in smaller zip files, but compression time increases significantly. (Compression time ~8 MB/s)

  • LZMA: not recommended. Can result in smaller zip files, but compression time increases significantly. (Compression time ~3 MB/s)
