rtl with 7zip = 762KB
fc with 7zip = 117KB

I don't have the LCL help local.  Like I said, I have not seen
anything beat 7-zip yet. ;-)

I also double checked. With a "solid archive", one stream of all
files, it is still possible to read a specific file from the archive
without decompressing the whole bunch.

I used Total Command 6.55 with the 7-zip plugin v0.4.6.  Total
Commander and the 7-zip plugin is written in Object Pascal (delphi).
No dependencies on external libraries. I ran Total Commander under
Linux by the way.

7-zip plugin settings:
  Compression level: Ultra
  Compression method: LZMA
  Dictionary size: 32Mb
  Word  size: 64
  Solid Archive (one stream for all files):  check
