s towards the more specific so as to advance an argument or point of view. Each paragraph builds on what came before and lays the ground for what comes next. Paragraphs generally range two to eight sentences all combined in a single paragraphed statement. In prose fiction and literary writing paragraph structure is more abstract, depending on the writer's technique and the action of the narrative. Facts and parts of the narrative are ordered to achieve poignancy and support rhetorical devices. A paragraph in prose fiction can start with a single detail and enlarge the picture with successive details, for example; but it is just as common for the point of a prose paragraph to occur in the middle or the end. A paragraph can be as short as one word or run the length of multiple pages, and may consist of one or many sentences. When dialogue is being quoted in fiction, a new paragraph is used
iece of information within a paragraph. A detail usually exists to support or explain a main idea. In the following excerpt from Dr. Samuel Johnson's Lives of the English Poets, the first sentence is the main idea, that Joseph Addison is a skilled "describer of life and manners". The succeeding sentences are details that support and explain the main idea in a specific way. :As a describer of life and manners, he must be allowed to stand perhaps the first of the first rank. His humour, which, as Steele observes, is peculiar to himself, is so happily diffused as to give the grace of novelty to domestic scenes and daily occurrences. He never "o'ersteps the modesty of nature," nor raises merriment or wonder by the violation of truth. His figures neither divert by distortion nor amaze by aggravation. He copies life with so much fidelity that he can be hardly said to invent

New post ompression rate in nanoseconds per byte on the largest file tested (e.g. seconds for enwik9). Speed is approximate and has no effect on ranking. A ~ means "very approximate". Not all tests are done on the same computer. Tests on my computer (Compaq Presario 5440, 2.188 Ghz Athlon-64 3500+, 2 GB memory, Windows XP SP2 or occasionally Ubuntu linux 2.6), are usually process times (user + system) measured with timer 3.01 by Igor Pavlov. This does not include disk I/O time, which can be significant for fast compressors. CPU time may increase because of Cool'n'Quiet, which updates the clock speed every 1/30 second and drops to 994 MHz if waiting on disk. I don't average over multiple runs. An underlined time means that no bet

ximate memory used for compression in MB. Decompression uses the same or possibly less. There is some ambiguity whether a megabyte means 10⁶ bytes or 2²⁰ bytes. The approximation is course enough that it doesn't matter. I use peak memory as measured with Windows Task Manager during compression (so if you really want to know, 1 MB = 1,024,000 bytes :) Memory does not include swap or temporary files. An underlined value means that no better compressor uses less memory.
