well you can see benchmarks above for both 7zip and Rar v4... and with extraction, it is always slower. It has to be slower, it is due to how 64bits work... In the same time, compression is faster.

So ultimate tool would always use 32bit extraction and 64bit compression...

thing is, everyone will still complain, thinking that simply it has to be faster since it is 64bit! :-)
