Every zip I have takes around 30 seconds to extract. Even if it is one file that is 1 meg uncompressed text. Have you guys tested with Zip archives?
Can't reproduce with the actual revision. I tried with huge zip archives (many files) and small ones (8 files). Can you please run: src/xarchiver & strace -p [PID] where [PID] is the number you get after running xarchiver with & and report here the output after a while ?
Created attachment 660 Strace log of ZIP Extract OK, I have attached the strace. It begins with me pressing <ENTER> to start the extraction as I had the extract dialog already up, and CTRL+C to break out after it finishes extracting. I extracted a 969.7k file, which took about 3 seconds to extract. It contains 25 seperate files (no folders). The extracted size is 2 megs. Running "unzip file.zip" takes less then a second. "30 seconds" might be a bit exaggerated, but it certainly takes too much time over the command line equivalent. I will also rename this as it happens with tar files too, unless this added ~3 seconds to extraction is expected. tar zxf on the same group of files happens instantly. Takes about 3-4 seconds for Xarchiver to work.
Also wanted to add that extracting the attachment I have provided takes a minimum of 3 seconds. "tar jxf strace.tar.bz2" at the command line comes back after less then a second.
May you attach the archive here or send it by email? My email is in the xarchiver source files.

On my Pentium 4 3.0 GHZ HyperThreading opening the strace.tar.bz2 took less than a second also. At this point I have to ask you: What is the speed of your processor ?

Extraction is the problem. Two different things. I am watching the "status" bar on Xarchiver and watching it move back and forth as it extracts. It takes at least 3 seconds for it to stop moving when I extract strace.tar.bz2.
I can't reproduce on my Linux box. Extracting the strace.tar.bz2 takes less than a second also, the progress bar appears and immediately disapperars. 1) Can you try to extract the files to a different partition ? 2) Can you ask a friend to extract the .tar.bz2 ? Thank you, Giuseppe
I close this bug since is not reproducable, feel free to reopen it but please send reports from other people showing the problem.
