Package: rzip Version: 2.0-2 Severity: minor Tags: sid I'm happy to report that my testing found that compression level 0 is about ten times as fast as the rest.
Compression level 0 was even five times faster than gzip. rzip's second stage uses bzip2, which uses compression levels from 1 to 9. While rzip also allows compression levels from 1 to 9, it has the quick compression level 0 too. What does compression level 0 do? Does compression level 0 skip the bzip2 stage? If so, wouldn't compression level 0 permit it to be used as a filter, which is vital for speeding up network transfers by allowing simultaneous compression, sending and decompression?
