An archiver is not a compressor and viceversa. Tar is an archiver but 
not compress v.gr. You can look at the compressor efficiency at this 
page http://cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/compression/text.html, there is 
Peazip using deflate/zip compression but now it uses lpaq9 and paq8 
(the tow of the top 5 algs) and at the
