I've seen many people report that ZOO is "just as efficient on storage,
if not marginally better than ARC".  I tried several tests using ARC
and ZOO to create various sized archives of various file types.

ARC always used SLIGHTLY less space than ZOO
(I'm talking 0.75% less space here).

ZOO was always quite a bit faster though, 30 to 40 % faster usually.
