requirements

libzip 1.10.1 or up
https://github.com/nih-at/libzip\ note: getting the dlls precompiled for windows is messy....
for now the windows (32bit / 64bit) dlls can be found at:
https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=300696\ a possible alternative could be (not tested and only 32bits):
https://github.com/ctabin/libzippp/releases

performance (archive and data size dependent)

windows 7 / windows 10(1903)
ram usage ~10MB / 10MB
handles ~30 / ~50
threads 1 / 3
cpu ~1 (low) / ~2
tested on intel i5-6600T
