SevenZipLZMACompressionSettings.DictionarySize

SevenZipLZMACompressionSettings.DictionarySize property

Dictionary (history buffer) size indicates how many bytes of the recently processed uncompressed data is kept in memory. If not set, will be chosen accordingly to entry size. Must be between 4096 and 1073741824, or equal to zero for automatic detection based on entry size.

public int DictionarySize { get; set; }

Remarks

The bigger the dictionary, usually the better the compression ratio is - but dictionaries larger than the uncompressed data are a waste of RAM.
