We've decided to include a JRE for Mac Greenstone binaries, since later versions of Macs (like Yosemite) do not come with Java. Adding the generated jre 1.7.0_79 self-extracting binary and its related p7z component. Jeremy had long ago compiled up the p7z-essentials binaries 7za and 7zCon.sfx on the Mac that are necessary for generating the Mac self-extracting jre binary.

28<P>Large Pages mode increases the speed of compression.
29However, there is a pause at the start of compression while 7-Zip allocates the large pages in memory.
30If 7-Zip can't allocate large pages, it allocates usual small pages.
31Also, the Windows Task Manager doesn't show the real memory usage of the program, if 7-Zip uses large pages.
32This feature works only on Windows 2003 / XP x64.
33Also, it requires administrator's rights for your system.
34The recommended size of RAM for this feature is 1 GB or more.
35To install this feature, you must run the 7-Zip File Manager at least once,
36close it, and then reboot the system.</P>
37<P>Your system can hang for several seconds at compressing starting, if you use -slp mode.
38So it's not recommended to use -slp mode to compress small data sets (less than 100 MB).</P>
