compare these two programs as there are 
many options to consider. StuffIt Deluxe 
was used in best compression mode with 
automatic virus detection and encryption 
turned off. Compactor has no such 
options.

As the table makes clear, under these 
conditions, there is little to chose from in 
these two packages in terms of 
compaction ability. Just as an extra 
exercise, I also compressed all these files 
with StuffIt Deluxe set for fastest 
compression and tabulated those results 
as well. It was noticeably faster 
compressing, but a great deal of 
efficiency of compression was lost.
