"Note that LZFSE has a somewhat different goal, however: it's designed to be the most power-efficient compression algorithm out there, in other words on mobile devices LZFSE optimizes for bytes-per-watt rather than bytes-per-second."
Sure, but is that even relevant? I mean, is there any way that lzfse could possibly be more power-efficient per byte than zstd when zstd is 3-4 times faster for the same compression ratio? According to the docs zstd doesn't have any support for multiple threads right now, so it should be a fair comparison.
