i used time '7zr a VirtualBox-3.2.10_OSE.7z VirtualBox-3.2.10_OSE' on dual core amd 4450e cpu with 4gb of ram. Here are my times: real 1m 51.17s user 2m 47.07s sys 0m 2.14s
7zr a VirtualBox-3.2.10_OSE.7z real 0m 31.57s user 0m 6.56s sys 0m 4.72s The real time is the one you want to look at. The user and sys are more about os timing. I hope this helps.
