Alexy,
 I strongly believe this mailing list is not suitable for spams like
this. If you want to present to public which compression utilities you
use or how much of cpu time your particular computation took, please,
use your personal blog or something like that. I'm pretty much sure
that vast majority of people in this list is not interested in
receiving messages of this kind.

Best,
 Kamadev
