I took the 2.0.35 kernel tree (with a bunch of object files, it's not
make cleaned), and tested decompression with .tar.gz and .zip using
tar, gzip, and unzip from Debian. It's roughly 10 megs compressed.
My machine is an AMD K5-P166. Here are the results:
(Using time. User and sys are the entries we're interested in.
I don't believe waiting for the hard disk is included in user/sys.)
tar zxvf:
real 0m51.094s
user 0m11.470s
sys 0m9.220s
zip:
real 0m45.374s
user 0m10.060s
sys 0m5.240s
It appears that zip is slightly faster, at least for this example.
