While the interface is way too cluttered if you just want to zip/unzip something, the OpenCL implementation cuts the time needed dramatically compared to Winrar and 7zip.

for a second i thought you were exaggerating, but holy shit you're right.

90s/early 2000 winzip all the way for me. then XP came along with it's own compression program and although it wasn't stellar it worked... using 7-zip now of course, but damn you are so right.

come to think of it, i have never needed to zip anything for the longest time... file extraction from an ISO but 30 bucks for a compression program isn't worth it for a regular home user...

Seems like everything has a cloud component nowadays. I'll have to look for that the next time I buy a chainsaw or wrench.

Unfortunately Igor doesn't seemed convinced of the benefits of OpenCL to add it to 7Zip:

He suggests benchmarking with WinZip to determine the performance difference.

Who TF pays for that?

Sorry, but I'm a winrar fan and always will be

For a while i thought corel was letting winzip die a slow death with its lack of improvements for years. Switched to 7zip too. But lately winzip is starting to fire up its engines again.

I still remember the days of installing and uninstalling the trails of winzip and winrar.

winzip who uses that anymore, i'm surprised that they are still in business?

i guess software companies like old generals never die, they just fade away...

time to move on to all the other zips that are better.
