I know for a fact .tar.xz offers the best compression rate for my use case.

It also takes forever to pack.

I ran benchmarks for syslog compression/decompression, and ended up using plzip, which used lzma, just because it was the fastest decompression while still having only marginally worse ratio.

But it still takes forever to pack.
