I wonder how the RAD Game Tools compressors would fit into that benchmark list. In their benchmarks Oodle Selkie has roughly the same ratio as Zlib but is 3-4x faster at decompression than Zstd (not the same benchmark though). http://www.radgametools.com/oodle.htm http://www.radgametools.com/oodle.htm
- blattimwind 9y agoAsset compression has a specific optimization function (Charles Bloom of RAD Game Tools has a ton about this on his blog, cbloomrants): maximize output bandwidth given this specific CPU and input bandwidth. Compression speed, for example, doesn't really matter. Sure, it should be something reasonable (e.g. not like PAQ), but if you can bump the above metric by 10 % while compression takes 50 % longer: probably worth it.
