It is a new faster compression algorithm from the creator of LZ4, Yann Collet. It offers compression ratios similar or great than gzip, but 4-6x faster compression, and 2-3x faster decompression (in excess of 1 gigabyte per second per core). It will be used in ZFS shortly, and is expected to supplant gzip/bzip2 for compressed kernel/memdisk in the loader for pxeboot / iscsi boot etc. > >> Author: bapt >> Date: Sat Apr 15 20:05:22 2017 >> New Revision: 316978 >> URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/316978 >> >> Log: >> Import zstandard 1.1.4 in base >> >> zstandard is a new compression library/tool which is very fast at >> compression/decompression >> >> For now import as a private library >> -- Allan Jude
