Performance, yes. But not compression. lzma compresses much smaller than zstd.
- zamadatix 1y agoIn default settings ZSTD favors speed. In max settings they are often about the same in both compression and speed e.g. https://dwaves.de/2023/10/16/gnu-linux-bash-maximum-best-compression-for-binary-data-xz-lzma-vs-zstd-vs-7zip-7z-vs-parallel-multi-threaded-multi-core-bzip2-why-it-is-better-to-have-a-lot-of-swap-space-ram-3x-or-4x/ https://dwaves.de/2023/10/16/gnu-linux-bash-maximum-best-com... There was a particularly good benchmark comparison of the two which put them on a Pareto front of speed vs size from different levels over each on some different sources but I can't find that. ZSTD was ahead most of the time.
