ZSTD with level MEDIUM gives you the same runtime as the traditional MS_XPRESS algorithm, but the backup is around 14 GB smaller. The level LOW is really fast (203 sec. vs. 305 sec., and the backups are still smaller (58 GB vs. 50 GB). #sqlserver #zstd #compression #performance

Fedora Linux Adopts Zstd Compression for initrd: Faster Boot Times & Disk Savings Blog com notícias sobre, Linux, Android, Segurança , etc

#Fedora’s latest proposal: Zstd as the default initrd compressor over XZ.

🔍 Key benefits:

Near-XZ compression with much faster decompression

Proven improvements in Fedora CoreOS

Optimized for SSDs & NVMe

Introducing {zap} - a new serialization framework for #RStats

* uses type-specfic transformations + #zstd
* for 'diamonds' dataset, it is more compressed than 'saveRDS(xz)' and faster than 'saveRDS(compress=FALSE)
