xz

The xz command is a program for compressing files.

Average compression ratio of LZMA is about 30% better than that of
gzip, and 15% better than that of bzip2.
Decompression speed is only little slower than that of gzip, being
two to five times faster than bzip2.
In fast mode, compresses faster than bzip2 with a comparable
compression ratio.
Achieving the best compression ratios takes four to even twelve
times longer than with bzip2. However, this does not affect
decompressing speed.
Very similar command line interface to what gzip and bzip2 have.
