TRADEOFF SPEED/EFFICIENCY ==> #Usually:
# - tradeoff efficiency (compression ratio) vs speed vs memory usage
# - fast usually corrolated wituh low memory usage
# - targetted at specific file type
#For the following free algos:
# - 7-zip
# - RAR
# - tar + gunzip
# - tar + bzip2
# - lha
# - Zip
# - ZPaq
#Best ratios, with best efficiency on top, and fastest on bottom:
# - Zpaq:
# - espcially text and images
# - very slow and high RAM. Requires C++ library (libzpaq)
# - 7-Zip
# - tar + gunzip
# - tar + bzip2
FEATURES ==> #Beyond tradeoff speed/efficiency:
# - cryptography
# - metadata (e.g. comments)
