[citation][nom]Edgar the Wise[/nom]Just a bit of terminology: "linear" should mean a function x -> cx (that is, twice the performance with twice as many cores, etc.) The correct mathematical term for a function x -> b + cx is "affine function", a very different concept in this context.Also, I can't understand why 7-zip couldn't have a go -- it has long been optimized for multiple cores unlike WinZip and WinRAR (previous test), its compression algorithm is superior to RAR and ZIP, and it's free software.This is a very useful article nevertheless, so thanks a lot![/citation]
You are right, but they meant linear Variation (derivative is the same, independently of b)
