Remarks

No preprocessing is done to gain knowledge of items, their location, and sizes for future updates to the archive.
As a result, extraction time is much lower than when using the other methods. Time gains between 40-55% are typical.

The directory structure is always preserved in the destination folder. All files and folder are extracted recursively.

In the event handlers, the current item will be null and the progression totals are not calculated.
