I have also considered lzma, but, last time I tried, "less" could not open and display those files. Also, zgrep does not support it. Nor midnight commander - and those are tools I use to open and look into old logs.
I don't know about less, but I've got an lzless and an lzgrep. To me the 50% space saving and the faster decompression is a big win, so I can easily live with lzless and lzgrep.
New tools... I don't like that. I prefer the "standard" having support for all methods, and me not caring. For instance, I can launch a zgrep and not care that some files are bz2 and some gz. In fact, I switched back to gz because bz2 was very slow to grep (ie, decompress). The real problem with lzma is that it is so slow compressing, but if you have many logs to keep, it may be worth the effort in your case. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
