* Prep test data (some file to be packed) * run command under "time" command $ time tar -czf testout.tar.gz ./test-data real 0m0.520s user 0m0.480s sys 0m0.040s $ time zip -rq testout.zip ./test-data real 0m0.474s user 0m0.460s sys 0m0.016s Simple! Do this with uncompress too. Command syntax of each command is found in each man pages. time can be shell builtin or independent command.
