    I don't know what your use case is, but it seems to be quite a niche.

  4. lzbench

    lzbench is an in-memory benchmark of open-source compressors

  5. p7zip

    A new p7zip fork with additional codecs and improvements (forked from https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ AND https://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/).

  6. lizard

    Lizard is an efficient compressor with very fast decompression. It achieves compression ratio that is comparable to zip/zlib and zstd/brotli (at low and medium compression levels) at fast decompression speed (by inikep)

  7. zxc

    Asymmetric lossless compression built for ultra-fast decode. 40%+ faster than LZ4 on ARM64, with better ratios. C library, write-once/read-many. (by hellobertrand)
