Ability to set 7z compression level (globally or on pair level) #78

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

A global or pair level setting that enables selecting which 7z compression 
level will be used (-mx parameter of 7z, levels ranging from 0 to 9).

I tested cryptsync with 3 MB of text files (782 files) and it took some minutes 
of 100% CPU usage to compress and encrypt them. I think this is because it uses 
the Ultra (9) setting of 7z. I was planning on using cryptsync to encrypt all 
my documents (about 500GB, 1.5 million files). At this rate it would take quite 
a long time to compress and encrypt them. An option to set the compression 
level to 0 (no compression) would speed this up significantly.
