The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Number sizes for LZ77 compression
LZ4 is a bit more complicated, but seems faster: https://github.com/lz4/lz4/blob/dev/doc/lz4_Block_format.md

Rsyncing 20TB locally
According to these https://github.com/lz4/lz4 values you need around ten (10) quite modern cores in parallel to accomplish around 8GB/s.

An Intro to Data Compression
The popular NoSQL database Cassandra utilizes a compression algorithm called LZ4 to reduce the footprint of data at rest. LZ4 is characterized by very fast compression speed at the cost of a higher compression ratio. This is a design choice that allows Cassandra to maintain high write throughput while also benefiting from compression in some capacity.

Micron Unveils 24GB and 48GB DDR5 Memory Modules | AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 compatible
Yeah, sure, when you have monster core counts. on regular systems, not so much, here's from their own github page. it achieves, eh, 5GB/s on memory to memory transfers, i.e. best case scenario. so, uh, no? i'm not even sure it's any better than the CPU decompressor one Nvidia used.

zstd
> The downside of lz4 is that it can’t be configured to run at higher & slower compression ratios.
lz4 has some level of configurability? https://github.com/lz4/lz4/blob/v1.9.4/lib/lz4frame.h#L194
There's also LZ4_HC.

Best archival/compression format for whole hard drives
Since nobody mentioned it, I'll add lz4 (https://github.com/lz4/lz4).

Why is Zip preferred on Mac while RAR seems like the favorite on Windows?
I'm not entirely correct, though. Because Unarchiver likely uses this compression algorithm by calling directly into the API. And there is an open-source implementation for it: lzfse/lzfse.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing LZ4 and LZFSE you can also consider the following projects:
zstd - Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm
brotli - Brotli compression format
LZMA - (Unofficial) Git mirror of LZMA SDK releases
Snappy - A fast compressor/decompressor
ZLib - A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library.
