Thank you Thiago for your suggestion :] I'm currently not able to use zstandard because I need it to work on my client side - WebGL targeted Unity Engine builds. We had some problems getting it to work using different approaches.
As for compression performance, zstd is still not as fast as lz4's LZ4_compress_fast - at least not in my use case. I have generated some quick'n'very'dirty benchmarks if you want to take look at them: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akfTIbOjRladXbnZx1K8GyekKL5tCBAiBTS6jQ1v0OQ/edit?ouid=116212118529929666006&usp=sheets_home&ths=true The suspiciously similar payload sizes in case of zstd were due to clients inability to properly send their data back to the server - they did not change their positions on 2d plane that much. I can make zstd to 'run' as fast as lz4 if I pass '-100' as a compression level but resulting package size is bigger than lz4's. Dictionary mode is not helping much probably because I'm compressing flatbuffers structures containing only fast-changing numerical data - not much correlation in those. My project is targeting low grade VPS'es, akin to DigitalOcean's Droplets, so in a long run even small CPU time differences makes a difference to me.

It compresses better *and* faster than LZ4. It requires more RAM to run, but if you're loading QtCore, QtNetwork and QtSql, memory usage is not your limitation. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
