  • The LZ4 introduced in PostgreSQL 14 provides faster compression

    True.

    If you're on your way down this rabbit hole, there's a bunch of old-machine-specific compression algorithms, developed by the emulator community, e.g. LZSA: https://github.com/emmanuel-marty/lzsa

  • Modern LZ Compression
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 17 Aug 2021
    There's quite a lot of retro modern LZ activity too! LZ turns out to be amazing on old machines, often only several times slower than a block copy. Optimal compressors and control over the algorithm have led to some very tight demos.

    https://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/products/crossdevtools/lz4/index... LZ4 Data Compression - a rather long and in-depth article looking at LZ4 on the 65816 for the Apple IIgs

    https://github.com/emmanuel-marty/lzsa - LZSA - a LZ4-like modern LZ that's more efficient both in speed and compression to LZ4 (at least on the 8 bitters it targets).
