I wonder how this compares to the OS built-in NTFS compression?
Windows shell has "Compress contents to save disk space" checkbox in folder properties. Usually, that compressed flag is inherited by new files created in a folder with that checkbox. OP can probably set the flag on Default\IndexedDB or Default\Service Worker folder and see whether this changes the results of that IO benchmark.
- binarycrusader 4y agoThe built-in NTFS filesystem compression is fairly limited in that it optimizes for performance over compression ratio; the more optimal compression scheme that's built-in is WOF: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20190618-00/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20190618-00/ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wofapi/ns-wofapi-wof_file_compression_info_v1 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wofapi/n... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/compact-os?view=windows-11 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufactu... It's not transparent like the filesystem compression, but it offers far more potentially beneficial compression algorithms such as LZX.
