Looking at standard benchmarks from the Zstandard project, a few key points emerge:
While compression is remarkably fast, decompression is even faster, often reaching the maximum write speed of the host hardware interface. 2. Deciphering "lz4 v183 win64" lz4 v183 win64
LZ4 features a high-compression variant called LZ4_HC. You can trigger it from the CLI by passing an acceleration or compression level flag: Optimizes for raw throughput. Looking at standard benchmarks from the Zstandard project,
Some common options and flags used with LZ4 v1.9.3: decompression is even faster
