Note that a benchmark in the README refers to zstd 1.1.1 and brotli 0.5.2, which are very old (the current versions are zstd 1.5.2 and brotli 1.0.9). The same author maintains lzbench [1] which is more current than the README. It shows that Lizard heavily trades off compression speed and ratio for decompression speed; zstd at the default setting (-3) is expected to be on par with Lizard -45 in terms of ratio, but Lizard would be >10x slower to compress while only ~3x faster to decompress.
