Description:

LZMA is an improved version of famous LZ77 compression algorithm. It
was improved in way of maximum increasing of compression ratio,
keeping high decompression speed and low memory requirements for
decompressing.

LZMA features:
- compressing speed: ~2MB/s on 2 GHz CPU
- decompressing speed:
- 20-30 MB/s on modern 2 GHz CPU
- 1-2 MB/s on 200 MHz simple RISC CPU (ARM, MIPS, PowerPC)
- small memory requirements for decompressing: 16 kB + dictionary
size
- small code size for decompressing: 5-8 kB
