LZ4 got integrated into Zstd afaik. It's the same author anyway ...

Michael any chance to get benchmarks of 1.4 vs. earlier release(-s)?

Is this update somehow used by the kernel usage of zstd?

No, they are still different products....

Obviously not yet, it will have to wait. Hopefully soon, faster ZRAM is always good.

I'm surprised facebook didn't come up with a cloud compression service, you upload all your data, they compress it for you and promise to delete their copy, and don't.

It's also nice if you read from a slow disk or SD card.

faster btrfs too!
