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...

[citation][nom]osamabinrobot[/nom]hey im interested in seeing benchmarks on this with gpu utilization but ill continue to use 7zip most likely[/citation]
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.
 
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.
 
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.
