hypothetically speaking

Depends what scheme you're using.  For deflate (most popular compression algo, used in ZIP/zlib/gzip and I believe RAR is based on it) there's two stages - a dictionary compress and then an entropy encode.
You'd get something like what you said above with the dictionary phase (it just detects duplicate stuff).  The entropy encode phase would then reduce the above to a few bits.

From what I've read, 7-zip with LZMA2 (v9.xx) generally beats RAR consistently.  Previously, I think RAR was slightly better at handling uncompressed media (eg WAV, BMP etc) than LZMA.
I think PAQ8px is generally considered the best compressor.  KGB is based off PAQ6 or something like that, right?

I almost understand >_> I do got the part on how 7-zip is better. So thanks.

Overheating. Open it up and vacuum out all the fans and heatsinks. If that doesn't cure it replace the thermal goo between the CPU and it's heatsink. If that doesn't work run a RAM tester like memtest86+. You may have some dodgy ram. All those tasks are pretty memory intensive. (As well as CPU intensive. (Streaming is more RAM than CPU intensive.))
