Comparison between lz4 vs lz4_hc vs blosc vs snappy vs fastlz

I have a large file of size 500 mb to compress in a minute with the best possible compression ratio. I have found out these algorithms to be suitable for my use.

  1. lz4
  2. lz4_hc
  3. snappy
  4. quicklz
  5. blosc

Can someone give a comparison of speed and compression ratios between these algorithms?

Solution

  • Yann Collet's lz4, hands down.
