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

    UFS 3.1 is not necessarily bottleneck here. It also depends on the optimization by OEM.

    According to this youtuber some brands UFS 2.2 storage outperforms UFS 3.1 storage used by other brands solely due to their software optimization. Skip the video to 04:54s to see the zip uncompression test and a few mins back to see the results of other tests.
