I don't see why this is considered a non neutral point of view. It discusses advantages and disadvantages in an objective way.

4GB Limit
rzip indeed works really well on large files. Trying to compress a 4.5GB vmdk (vmware image) file gave a better(1.92G) compression, compared to 7z (2.07G), rar (2.21G), bzip2 (2.44G).

Uncompressing was another matter though, the resulting file was truncated to 800M. It looks like 4GB is the limit, at least on a 32bit linux system.
 * Perhaps there was another reason for the truncation; was the machine perhaps out of disk-space?  Sladen
