What's the Problem?

The current built in Extract function presented when right clicking a zip file is significantly slower than say something like 7-Zip.
Waiting for the 7 Zip sub-menu to appear only to go to another sub-menu to select extraction using it's software is neither fast or efficient.

Solution/Idea

When launching the Files application, the system should be searched for popular extraction utilities such as 7-Zip and WinRAR.

Then, when it comes to extracting an archive, if one was found (or if multiple, choose the better performing one), use it's executables to extract (perhaps via invoking a command and passing the file as an argument)

Alternatives

Allow users to select their own extraction program in the settings
