Quoting "Mitchell, Scott - IS" <[email protected]>:
Is there any guidance, rule of thumb, whatever on what compression
level to use? I haven't been able to find much detail; apart from 0
being no compression and 9 being maximum. Is there a good balance in
the range 1-9?
Is the selection as much about balancing processor vs. disk load as
final size?
If I can speed writes with some lossless compression, that would be
a good thing.
Scott, the level to choose will probably depend on the data you're
compressing.
You might also want to look at the LZF compression filter
(http://h5py.alfven.org/lzf/). For the data I'm processing, it's been
significantly faster than zlib.
