But that is not a help system. It is a solid archive. If I have to depack
first it lasts a minute and contains 150MB on disk (first column)

Great, I can't wait till you submit a patch that turns it into a helpsystem.
It is not a comparison of archivers, but what to do with the helpsystem. And
size is not the only parameter. (native compressor/decompressors are too, so
that it can be used in installers that don't need external dlls/.so's that
are potentially not installed or distro specific)
