To have equivalent test enviroment - you can use:

  echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

will drop all disk caches

  cgroups 

can set the size of memory

C OPTIMIZATIONS

gzip

lines with "-" in cells have the same value for all rows

tar:

shows too big changes so not good for any statistic :( (no complicated algorithm there)

coreutils:

RESTRICTION TO THE MEMORY SIZE

I use to run one process on comp with enough memory and with limited ammount of memory: (the limit was set only for this process - cgroups)

	without limit	limit 3Mb

READ BY getc, gets with different buffer size

Playing with cat command:

version 1:

   while ( (c=getc(f)) != EOF) {
      putchar(c);
   }

version2:

   while ( (c=getc(f)) != EOF) {
       if (poc < 99) {
           str[poc]=(char )c;
           poc++;
       } else {
           printf("%s",str);
           poc = 0;
       }
       putchar(c);
   }

version3:

  #define MAX 100
  while ( (fgets(str,MAX, f)) != NULL) {
      puts(str);
  }

version4:

  #define MAX 1000
  while ( (fgets(str,MAX, f)) != NULL) {
      puts(str);
  }
