We recently added negative compression levels that extends the fast end of the spectrum significantly. We are also working on incrementally improving the strong end of the compression ratio spectrum. We don't expect plain zstd to compress stronger than xz, but we hope to close the gap some.

- JyrkiAlakuijala 8y agoWith zstd you end up on average 5-6 % worse than LZMA in density on a variety of large test corpora, but decodes 8x faster. Brotli with --large_window 30 can get within 0.6 % of LZMA, and decodes 5x faster than LZMA. https://encode.ru/threads/2947-large-window-brotli-results-available-for-a-several-corpora https://encode.ru/threads/2947-large-window-brotli-results-a...
