Can I post it here in General Discussion?
When I try to create an archive(any kind)
Peazip sometimes freezes. But if i try to compress the same file using 7zip it does not. So is there something wrong with PeaziP?
And why is 7zip slower than peazip?

This sort of question belongs in this other apps support, not General Discussion. I presume that John moved the post here.
I don't use PeaZip often, preferring 7-Zip, but I see no reason why 7-Zip should be slower than PeaZip, and see no reason why PeaZip might freeze. Can you provide more information?

It is a progress bar inaccurancy, but you can easily verify the application is running and the output is being created.
About speed, many archive format are supported by PeaZip using the Open Source 7z binary from 7-Zip/p7zip project so the speed is largely comparable since the same algorithms are used, and the overhead on the system introduced by the two different frontend is minimal.
However PeaZip uses the latest available 7z beta releases available when packages are formed (7-Zip beta are usually very good) so they may be a bit faster that latest 7-Zip stable, long term support, release.
Another importan factor in benchmark of that kind of application under Windows is file caching: if you run application a on the file x and then run the application b, application b will seem a lot faster since the file x will be cached in memory and more readily avalable during the second benchmark.
