at the risk of necroing anouther thread
kgb in certain scenarios can yield those huge compression numbers
the downside is the massive memory and cpu requirements to decompress anouther commonly used example would be uARC , because of the way the compression dictionary works it can't be multithreaded

Yeah, but the same is true for all the other common compression methods. If the data is very compressible, you'll get great compression numbers. But the fact OS the PAQ6/7 compression algorithm that kgb uses isn't significantly better that other, much much faster, modern algorithms. If it was, kgb wouldn't have died out, and PAQ would be a much more popular option.
