Re: Re: untar with plzip faster than with lzip for no apparent reason

AFAIK, dictionary size is fixed for each compressed file and can't be 
changed because it has to be the same dictionary size that was used in the 
compression.  I am not talking about dictionary but about output buffer.    
lzip is a (de)compressor while plzip is just a "data block manager" 
which sends and receives blocks to/from the real (de)compressor (lzlib).   
_Data block manager_?  Well, lzlib is also de/compressor.  I am lost here.
