Gzip is much better than compress. Fast, compressing much better and more
reliable for uncompress.
Couple of years back I produced comparative results on this list.
Only observation is high CPU usage for gzip than compress though.

Which is better to use gzip or compress? All of my work is done on AIX 5L 64bit
server. I am doing cold backups of databases where I tar and then compress the
resulting file. I have always used compress, but I read that gzip gives better
compression. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
