The program can compress files but cannot archive them, and it works on nearly all major operating systems. The functions for BZip2 are as follows:
BZip2 provides better compression performance, but in terms of processing performance, it can be significantly slower than Snappy. A simple rule is that the more we get better compression, the less we get to read and write performance, and anything that takes more read and write time than expected is not an ideal ...
