They are, at least according to gzip man page: ---------- snip ---------- -# --fast --best Regulate the speed of compression using the speciĀ fied digit #, where -1 or --fast indicates the fastest compression method (less compression) and -9 or --best indicates the slowest compression method (best compression). The default compression level is -6 (that is, biased towards high compresĀ sion at expense of speed). ---------- snip ---------- -- Pedro Guerreiro UIN: 48533103 Universidade do Algarve (EST) - Campus da Penha - 8000 Faro - PORTUGAL GPG: 0xCF32D4E7 F506 DDF4 0B92 247D B8E6 13BA A6DB 9E3A CF32 D4E7
