but it has two disadvantages:
1. It takes a bit time to init (because it is coded in Hollywood)

Yeah, that's a downside on real 68k machines, but should be quite snappy on FPGA/emulation/NG setups.

2. It uses XAD systems that is not updated and for example LHA decompression is 2-3 slower than LHA from Aminet.

This program is more like convenience tool for browsing archives, viewing and extracting selected files, and of course creating whole new archives without needing to remember all the options. And the best thing with XAD is that it supports huge amount of different formats.
Unpacking a single whole archive might be quicker from commandline or filemanager, but for batch extracting lots of archives this program becomes handy again, especially if you want them being sorted in own dirs
I guess I could do custom support for LhA to use a separate command, but don't know if it's worth the hassle... there are also too many different versions of LhA (Amiga vs. Unix branches, and different versions of each branch), so XAD is more foolproof generally.
