Compression Tests

This test suite consists of tests that measure various forms of file compression such as gzip, bzip2, and 7zip. This suite is good for testing the system's processor, memory, and overall system performance.

See how your system performs with this suite using the Phoronix Test Suite. It's as easy as running the phoronix-test-suite benchmark compression command..
