[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) Zstd and xz fullfil different needs. Xz take more time to compress and is faster to decompress as far as I know. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Atemu@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago XZ is a slog to compress and decompress but compresses a bit smaller than zstd. zstd is quite quick to compress, very quick to decompress, scales to many cores (vanilla xz is single-core only) and scales a lot further in the quicker end of the compression speed <-> file size trade-off spectrum while using the same format. permalink fedilink source parent
