The speed of dominosec8 is 3471 c/s, and the speed of 7z is 3056 c/s.
The 3471 c/s and 3056 c/s is not very slow ? There are about 16
formats whose speed is small than 3056 c/s ? What speed can be
recognized as "slow" ?

If I understand "slow" correctly, then the difference between
"Only one salt" and "Many salts" has nothing to do with "slow" ?


Thanks,
