Given the table they have in their README I’d still choose LZ4 over ZSTD even if the ratio is 2.8 vs 2.1 or so for compression given the decompression is so much faster with LZ4 than with ZSTD. Also compressing is, as well.
- synergy20 4y agointeresting, it depends on which is more important: saving space or saving time. I never used LZ4 but I'm interested more in speed for some products, will use it in the future.
