Description

  1. i have went though the souce code, and found that the 'AreIdentical' function which will do a full compare with the existed files which in the parent list, i dont know how it's necessary to compare all the file content, rather then the file names
  2. it's possable to do Recursive Extract in real-parallel with https://www.isolineltd.com/blog/how-to-extract-a-zip-archive-in-parallel.html ?? becuse current version is very-very slow under my test.

regards, mike

Research direction

Start by reading the RecursiveExtractor source around the AreIdentical function and tracing how recursive extraction compares files in the parent list. Review the linked parallel ZIP extraction article to assess whether parallel extraction applies to the supported archive combinations. Done means a documented, measured approach that addresses the reported slowness without breaking recursive extraction.
