It can increase compression speed for 10% for 7z/xz/LZMA/LZMA2 compression. - new -spo[d|c|r] switch specifies the path generation mode for the output directory for archive extraction. The output directory path is generated from the path specified in the -o{dir_path} switch and the name of the archive being unpacked. -spod : for Linux/Posix/macOS: -o{dir_path} specifies the direct path to the output directory. The asterisk (*) character in will not be replaced by the archive name. -spoc : 7-Zip will concatenate the path specified in -o{dir_path} with the archive name to form the final path to the output directory. -spor : 7-Zip will replace asterisk (*) character in the path specified in the -o{dir_path} with the archive name.
