I however think you can't cite any statement in that post directly containing that assumption, if it was "clear" to you it says more about your assumptions than about the actual content discussed.

Allowing for 2% bigger resulting file could mean huge speedup in these circumstances even with the same compression routines, seeing these benchmarks of zlib and zlib-ng for different compression levels: https://github.com/z

Do you know which distributions are using zlib-ng for zip and unzip programs? If I understand, the improvement would be around 3 times less CPU use for the comparable resulting size, but I see it here shown for "minizip" not zip:

Note that even when not considering the speedup due to the compression happening in multiple threads, the libraries used for compression here use much less CPU (user 3m33s) than "the standard zip utility" (user 13m13s i.e. 3.7 tim
