The Phoronix source shows that worse compression ratio but higher better decompression speed than LZO is typical. Of course, that might not be universally true, but I don't think we need to go into that much detail in this summary section. undo

curprev 13:2913:29, 9 July 2020‎ TheAntiDisruptor talk contribs‎ 5,932 bytes +650‎ →‎Design: This is a key design decision, as entropy coding is a lot of work. Not doing that work obviously allows LZ4 to be much simpler and faster (with potentially much worse compression ratio if entropy coding is very beneficial, which depends on the data being compressed). I used Huffman coding in DEFLATE as an example, as DEFLATE is already used in the performance comparison in the previous section, and it's extreme commonness makes it the natural neutral choice for such comparisons. undo
