+ The core of the XZ Utils compression code is based on LZMA SDK, but
+ it has been modified quite a lot to be suitable for XZ Utils. The
+ primary compression algorithm is currently LZMA2, which is used
+ inside the .xz container format. With typical files, XZ Utils
+ create 30 % smaller output than gzip and 15 % smaller output than
+ bzip2.
