On the heels of the LZO compression thread, I bring you a 7zip compression thread!
Shown here as the open source system with the best compression ratio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression#Comparative Shown here on a SPARC system with the best compression ratios and good CPU usage: http://warp.povusers.org/ArchiverComparison/ Obviously 7zip is far more CPU-intensive than anything in use with ZFS today. But maybe with all these processor cores coming down the road, a high-end compression system is just the thing for ZFS to use.
