This draft compares lz4 vs gzip vs xz. If minimizing CPU usage is a concern, I'd be curious to see zstd (http://zstd.net/) added to the set of compressors being compared. I've found that zstd is often capable of beating gzip's compression ratio while consuming much less CPU. -- Robert Edmonds _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
