Re: [Lzip-bug] Maybe replace "bits/byte" with "ratio"?

Can you please explain why you prefer this one? That is, instead of this:

   vv52_new.log.lz: 15.329:1,  6.52% ratio, 93.48% saved. ok

In my humble opinion, I don't really see the advantage in any way 
whatsoever in choosing a decimal over a percentage in this case, 
especially considering the fact that a percentage is already shown for 
another part of the overall value.

Best regards,
