Could be 7-zip. I think their own algorithm claims to be 40 or 50% more effective than Winzip. Link

Zipped 'size reduction' is more often dependent on the type of file/s being zipped...eg, a quick look in a WB 'archive' and the bmps are anywhere from 65 to 99% compressed...

What Jafo said.
If you try to compress files like JPEG, PNG, MPEG and such which is media files that compresses it's size by it self zipping it won't have much effect.
