some other funny benchmark numbers: i wondered how performance/compressratio of lzjb,lzo and gzip would compare if we have optimal compressible datastream. since zfs handles repeating zero`s quite efficiently (i.e. allocating no space) i tried writing non-zero values. the result is quite

Those are interesting results. Does this mean you've already written lzo support into ZFS? If not, that would be a great next step -- licensing issues can be sorted out later... Adam On Sat, Jun 16, 2007 at 04:40:48AM -0700, roland wrote: btw - is there some way to directly compare lzjb vs lzo

For what it's worth, at a previous job I actually ported LZO to an OpenFirmware implementation. It's very small, doesn't rely on the standard libraries, and would be trivial to get running in a kernel. (Licensing might be an issue, of course.) just for my personal interest - are you speaking

btw - is there some way to directly compare lzjb vs lzo compression - to see which performs better and using less cpu ? here those numbers from my little benchmark: |lzo |6m39.603s |2.99x |gzip |7m46.875s |3.41x |lzjb |7m7.600s |1.79x i`m just curious about these numbers - with lzo i got
