I upgraded to PureRaw 6 (from 5). I really see the advantage of introduces High-Fidelity Compression to create DNG files up to four times smaller.
Use of less storage. I did not check yet if this improved the processing speed as well.

That's good to hear, I haven't had a chance to jump in yet. I generally shoot cRAW, so we'll see if it still has an effect.

Well, I shoot cRAW as well.
The CRAW file is 34 mb. The DNG uncompressed is 163 mb. The compressed DNG file is 31 mb !
Albeit, with one test. Don't have the time now to do more tests.

I have processed 11100 CRAW files from my EOS R7 with PureRaw 6 and DeepPRIME XD3, exporting as compressed DNG! Results:

• CRAW: 197.72GB (17.8MB/file on average)
• Compressed DNG output: 190.63GB (17.2MB/file on average)
• For comparison, out-of-camera JPEG cumulative size: 108.16GB (AdobeRGB, non-HDR; 9.7MB/file on average)

So my numbers are very similar to your findings, in that the compressed DNG output is slightly smaller than the CRAW file on average. My settings were "luminance" 40%, "force details" 5%. Just for reference, processing took around 21 hours.

Hope this helps!
