How does that compare to xz?

  Or zstd?

    Want zstd more focused on performance without too big a decrease in compression ratio, rather than getting better compression ratios? I might be mistaken.
    • aidenn0 6y ago
      zstd's performance curve is entirely within gzip's. For every level of gzip compression, zstd has a level with better compression at the same speed, and a level with the same (or better) compression at a higher speed. Note that this is all for single core; zstd can also run in parallel.

        That's really cool, thanks for the info!

  In my experience it depends on the type of data, though never have I seen it do better or worse than a negligible amount (on real world data, I'm sure you could find the type it's better at and exploit that).

  xz for the most part does a much better job than bzip2.
