I wonder if we're at a point yet where gzip's slowness is becoming a bottleneck. I wish zstd support in the browser was prioritized a bit higher, brotli does have similar/ better compression due to the dictionary but speed is also important.
- TillE 3y agoTo really exploit zstd you'd want all major browser vendors to agree on some standard, updateable dictionaries for HTML/CSS/etc.

- arthur2e5 3y agoSlowness on compression or decompression? The compression end, which is slower, can be plausibility mitigated with analogues of gzip_static. And as the brotli people will insist on telling you, it's good even without that dictionary: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27163981 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27163981
