What are hardware/software prerequisites?
PeaZip should run on x86-compatible CPU due to some performance critical sections written in ASM; CPU and, mainly, RAM requisites are bound top the chosen algorithm and compression level, ranging to few KB for simpler algorithms (like when storing files without compression in tar/gz/zip formats) to above than a GB for most powerful and complex algorithms at highest compression level, like LZMA, PPMd and PAQ). Needless to say, it is the choice of the compression algorithm the most important factor in determination of job’s speed, even if usually the most advanced algorithms are also the ones wich scales better in performances in multicore enviroments. As for software prerequisites, all needed software invoked by the frontend is included in PeaZip packages (being available under suitable licenses, as open source or royalty free) so no custom package is needed to be installed to make PeaZip work (with the possible exception of some standard gtk/gdk related libraries needed to run PeaZip,
