lz4 have very fast decompress speed, larger appimages opening few seconds faster using it so I think it's good option to have

Hi @RGdevz we'd like to standardise on zstandard unless there is no way to make its performance similar to lz4 by choosing the best block size and compression level.

RGdevz commented 7 months ago

I did tested different block sizes and the lower ones are faster for me because the appimage had alot of small .so files libs, even so LZ4 was faster and I tested LZ4 HC which keep the same speed of LZ4 and compress a bit more. i'll close the issue because as you said you want standardize on zstd which is good compromise I guess
