Compressing logs or data rows where speed is more critical than the compression ratio.
: Higher levels significantly trade speed for a smaller file size. Benchmark Mode lz4 -b [filename]
:To prioritize speed over ratio, use the fast parameter: lz4.exe --fast=3 sourcefile . Installation via Package Managers:
LZ4 is famous for speed, but v1.8.3 allows you to trade speed for better compression ratios.
💡 If you are looking for the absolute fastest performance on modern hardware, consider upgrading to v1.9.4 or higher , which includes specific optimizations for newer Intel and AMD instruction sets.
