I always use "zstd --long=31 -T0 -19" to compress disk images, since that is a usecase where it generally offers vastly superior compression to xz, deduplicating across bigger distances.
XZ offers slightly better compression on average, but decompression is far slower than Zstd.
- dralley 3y agoIIRC memory consumption is generally worse for Zstd at comparable levels of compression. Which, these days, is generally fine, but my point is you can't thoughtlessly substitute the two.
