Doesn't it depend on what kind of file your compressing as to what type of compression works best?

[Iron_Forge]

The data being compressed determines the outcome of the compression...Some data will compress better using Rar's minimal compression alg. instead of its maximum...

-note- im going by the compression selections each one has so dont get me wrong with the fast best and stuff like that.
