Indeed, I just checked and I have 200 MiB of files in my 'undodir' directory with ~4700 files there. So it's big. Compression and decompression may slow down Vim So lz4 lib [1] may be the way to go as it's very fast. zstd lib [2] has a good compromise between speed and compression ratio. Both libs are now widely used and available, but not as much as zlib.
