Older versions of PIMPLE

[LovePimple]

I have just been playing around with some of the older versions of PIMPLE and was so impressed by the results from PIMPLE 1.0b10c that I decided to post them here.

PIMPLE 1.0b10c is a single file compressor like Quad and TC which was designed specifically for benchmark use only. Compression is very impressive but it can't compete with the latest Quad engine for speed.

Any chance you could try PIMPLE 1.0b10c on your testset?

I noticed that in some cases new Quad compresses even better than this old version of PIMPLE, being incomparable faster.

The progress...

Sure!
13,260,732 bytes - both compression and decompression speed is 154kB/s. Actually, its just a few kBs better than PIM v1.25

Hard to say, I have no other encodes work from Q1 06 for me to be able to compare
