ZIP (Speed) refers to the rate at which data is compressed and decompressed using the ZIP file format. This format allows for efficient storage and transfer of files by reducing their size, making it easier to share large amounts of data over the internet or save space on devices. The speed of ZIP compression can vary based on factors such as the size and type of files being compressed, as well as the software used. Generally, faster compression speeds result in less CPU usage, while slower speeds may achieve better compression ratios, balancing efficiency and performance.
