©2003-2009 MaximumCompression (lossless data compression software benchmarks)
File type : Acrobat Reader 5.0 executable (acrord32.exe).
# of files to compress in this test : 1
Total File Size (bytes) : 3,870,784
Conclusion: As with text compression, the top programs in this test are
specifically optimised for executable compression (like parsing the input into
opcodes and operands, changing relative call/jmp addresses to absolute etc).
This probably explains the big difference between the top and the programs just
behind them. WinRK, PAQ8, Durilca and PAQAR are the programs to choose
when compressing executables (to the limit). Especially the latest versions of WinRK seems to have found
some additional room for further compressing executables.
