Simple command line implementation of LZMA compression algorithm. This tool uses raw LZMA format as opposed to 7z container format, which uses LZMA as the default compression algorithm, but has many additional features and a header incompatible to that of raw LZMA streams. If you need to create highly-compatible archives, you probably want to use archivers/p7zip port. Lzma tool is taken from LZMA SDK. Compression ratio is about 25-30% better than bzip2 and decompression speed is about two times faster. The downside is higher CPU and RAM requirements for compression.
