Are you still using gzip or bzip2? If backwards compatibility isn't a concern, there's hardly ever any argument for it. zstd totally outperforms them in speed and still compresses better. If size is your only relevant outcome use xz.
Indeed it does. Thanks. While the CPU usage was indeed more maxed out with pzstd, I'm still not seeing how it's better than pigz in my single test case of a large file I had around. Perhaps it's good in some scenarios, but I'm not seeing an obvious reason to use it vs. pigz.pic.twitter.com/VS6u4Y0XoA

these numbers surprise me, because I *always* get much better perf. with zstd. is there a caching effect? try running each of these twice and only take the latter number.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Like I said, it's a very unscientific test. But I'm not convinced to switch based on it.pic.twitter.com/homXYrPh8x
