"OpenZL to offer 10% faster compression speed and 70% faster decompression speed compared to Zstandard level 1 on the Silesia corpus in our benchmarks."
"OpenZL now ships its own LZ codec, exposed as ZL_GRAPH_LZ, and the serial profile in zli. It is still being actively developed to expand its feature set and improve performance on small inputs."
https://github.com/facebook/openzl/releases/tag/v0.2.0 "OpenZL delivers high compression ratios while preserving high speed, a level of performance that is out of reach for generic compressors. OpenZL takes a description of your data and builds from it a specialized compressor optimized for your specific format." # start server
