Description This is a file compression test perfomed by, yours truely. These were set at best compression.

Used WinUHA for .uha tests and Winrar for .rar


Leave me any comments (why?) and ideas on formats to make these 2 battle on.

Here are the results if you wish to go through them. (do it)

----if you are too lazy to look through them however here are the results---
Winrar (faster, files are slightly bigger than UHA)
UHA (noticably slow, but from initial tests creates smaller files)

I think uha just isn't worth it unless you're really cramming for space.

Almost is right. I keept seeing (UHA BEATS RAR! wherever you could get the uha format. I just HAD to see some hard facts for myself and by doing so I found out that it is slower.

I'll be damned if i just read something and accept it. But yes...I did this mostly for fun.
