A nice comparison of file compression application (performance) was 
done by Adam Engst and Ken Hancock in the latest TidBits.  TidBits
is a HyperCard-based computing news stack which is regularly posted 
in comp.sys.mac.digest.

This issue includes data for DiskDoubler as well as Compact Pro and
StuffIt Deluxe.  Engst and Hancock don't endorse any of the products 
specifically, but it was interesting to see that DiskDoubler fared
very well in several categories.
