Did some very limited testing.
p7zip help still shows 03/6/2016 date, while 7-zip has 08/11/24?
In a simple test of 7G directory p7zip compressed in 13 1/2 minutes
while the 7-zip (7zz) did it in 11 1/2 minutes (same 2 core notebook)
Files were different slighly, but did pass test of each others
programs with default settings.
So, speedwise the 7zz seems newer and faster. Only minor issue I
found was that 7z didn't include linked files while 7zz did? Had to
use -snl switch.
Just wondering if someone might know more info?
Thanks.

p7zip
p7zip is an old port of 7-Zip (command line version only) for Linux
and Unix, created by an independent developer.
p7zip at SourceForge
Now p7zip is no longer needed as the new version of 7-Zip can run
on Linux. So you can use new 7-Zip for Linux instead of p7zip.
Some versions of Linux still contain p7zip program.
Please note that the source code of p7zip was not updated since
version 16.02. And this p7zip 16.02 contains bugs, that were fixed
in newer versions of 7-Zip.
There are also some forks from p7zip code:
p7zip fork (by jinfeihan57) with additional codecs and
improvements
The version from 7-zip.org is mainly.
