Try to use LZ4 instead of Snappy compression #24

LZ4 compression may be faster and/or have a better compression ratio than Snappy. We should try this out in practice by replacing the current compression class with a lz4. Possibly we may want to have this as an abstract class with several implementations, but that would be a new issue.
