Well I didn't use all the xz options TBH... I only have 4 GiB of RAM, so...
With "xz -9" it used like 600 MiB memory.

Don't know about 7z, but xz manpage says it requires 5-20% RAM for
decompression compared to compression, so it maybe a bit (too) high
with your options for certain people.

I once did a (quick) comparison between rzip/lrzip (which I think is
in the same family as 7z) and xz, and had comparable results (give ot
take 1% or 2), but xz was WAY quicker (something like 7-8x).
xz was about a quick (or quicker) than bzip2 with better compression
ratios/less memory usage, so it seemed a good compromise

You probably have a monster machine if it didn't take very long for
you though ;)
