Yep, same here. Way too much excitement for something that shows no "groundbreaking" advantage over other codecs based on his own benchmark results.
- Dylan16807 10y agoRight. There's a niche where it excels, giving you lz4 decompression speed combined with zlib-esque ratios, but it accomplishes that by having significantly slower compression than either of them. It's not really breaking away from the pack in any way that I can see.
- jeffreyrogers 10y agoI think it's targeted at the game industry, so the slow compression doesn't matter. It just needs to decompress quickly for the user.
