Since PPMZ uses a lot of memory/CPU its hard to evaluate it on the debian
source packages. Instead it has been evaluated on 29 randomly picked
(source) packages.

PPMZ is indeed very good. It ain't easy to find a compressor that matches so
evenly with PPMd as PPMZ.

PPMd = PPMd -o16 -m220
PPMZ = ppmz -b
PPMonstr = PPMonster.exe -o16 -m220
N/A = PPMZ can't compress the file in reasonable time using reasonable amounts
      of memory.

PPMonster is an unfree version of PPMd “with time consuming extras”, that has
been removed from the Debian source package to avoid main/non-free mixing
problems. Its available from: <ftp://ftp.elf.stuba.sk/pub/pc/pack>

PPMd: 24 wins vs 5 wins for PPMZ.
PPMonster: 29 wins vs 0 wins for PPMZ
