YOu can take a peek at the performance of this Free Archive Manager Peazip. The benchmark was conducted on a machine with Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 @2400 MHz (dual core), 2GB DDR2 RAM with 800 MHz memory speed, a 7200 RPM disk with 16MB cache and a XP service pack 2 operating system with the NTFS filesystem. In “Single core vs dual core benchmark” table, you’ll see that the single core times were tested setting applications’ affinity to let them use a single core only.

In terms of security, this Multi Platform Archive Software has secure deletion features, and can verify file checksums and hash, and supports multiple strong encryption standards like the 7Z’s AES256 encryption, optionally using two factor authentication i.e, the password and the key file for increased security to its users.
