This is mainly a place to jot down some comments/ideas.

One of the projects I follow a lot is the 7zip project, but there are some others out there that are worth mention:

UHARC: (Not open source but free for noncommercial use)
http://info.elf.stub...ck/uharc06b.zip

KGB: (Not certain on open source or not)
http://kgbarchiver.sourceforge.net/ (downloads are down, haven't seen this one tested yet)

WinRK: (Not open source at all)
http://www.msoftware...72a1893e17fb7fe

PAK8I just came out too:

About KGB archiver there was a thread on MSFN (which appears to have been deleted) a few months ago...
...cached by google :P :

Unless things have DRAMATICALLY changed in the meantime, is so slow as to be rather useless.

I have read somewhere that KGB is based on the PAQ8 and times and memory occupation in benchmarks appear similar.
