> bq. Snappy is a compression/decompression library. It does not aim for
> maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression library;
> instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression. For
> instance, compared to the fastest mode of zlib, Snappy is an order of
> magnitude faster for most inputs, but the resulting compressed files are
> anywhere from 20% to 100% bigger. On a single core of a Core i7 processor in
> 64-bit mode, Snappy compresses at about 250 MB/sec or more and decompresses
> at about 500 MB/sec or more.
> bq. Snappy is widely used inside Google, in everything from BigTable and
> MapReduce to our internal RPC systems. (Snappy has previously been referred
> to as "Zippy" in some presentations and the likes.)
> Lets get it in.
