Actually, I *was* really impressed to see the size decrease from 5.6MB to 3.6MB, when going from bzip2 to lzma compression on the coreutils tarball.
The algorithm's clearly doing better, but I've not seen much use of lmza in the wild. On the distros I tried (Fedora, Ubuntu) it was easier to find 7zip packages than lmza. Is .7z a more widespread archive format?
