> When it comes to stuff which compresses well but full of small objects, ZIP is pretty bad Correct, but it also allows you to independently access files, which is a win for this use-case. The goal isn't the compression itself, but reducing the number of objects, which in itself reduces the file system block overhead. Double checking, it seems like files compressed with zstandard method aren't supported. This will (when enabled) give both better compression and faster decompression. That should be added shortly.
