why is unzipping on android so slow compared to Windows? I’ve tried ZipXtract, MaterialFile… All took 10+minutes to unizip a zip file that only took 30 seconds to unzip on Windows.
Why is this the case and i s there any way to speed it up?
Thanks a lot
EDIT:
I am using google pixel 9a so this issue looks like it might not be the issue of storage speed
Windows is not running in a virtual machine, just a normal laptop
Typo in the post fixed
EDIT AGAIN:
Solved!
yes it the archive does contains thousands of small files! I think that could be the reason of low performance on android mobile!
thanks a lot @Brett@feddit.org

My kneejerk thought would be that the cpu for the phone doesn’t have the specific instruction set that zipping would utilise.
Unfortunately, if this is the case, nothing can be done about it.
