is decompression faster than gzip/zlib?
- felixhandte 7y agoYes! Three or more times faster.
- duckerude 7y agoFunnily enough, zstd can also decompress gzip-compressed data faster than gzip can. $ du -h data.gz 324M data.gz $ time -p unzstd -k data.gz real 1.43 user 1.24 sys 0.19 $ time -p gunzip -k data.gz real 4.85 user 2.28 sys 0.19 It's even faster at decompressing its own format.
