Not with small files.
- Dylan16807 9mo agoIf that's about using predefined dictionaries, zstd can use them too. If brotli has a different advantage on small source files, you have my curiosity. If you're talking about max compression, zstd likely loses out there, the answer seems to vary based on the tests I look at, but it seems to be better across a very wide range.
- dchest 9mo agoNo, it's literally just compressing small files without training zstd dict or plugging external dictionaries (not counting the built-in one that brotli has). Especially for English text, brotli at the same speed as zstd gives better results for small data (in kilobyte to a few of megabyte range).
