[Paraview-developers] New compression algorithm

[Hahn, Steven E.]

Would lz4 and/or zstd be worthwhile alternatives to vtkZLibDataCompressor? I often turn off compression in order to speed up the XML file writers.

Best,
Steven

    Interesting. Also note the algorithm we already support "lz4" is
    actually doing a lot better for compression/decompression speeds
    (which will affect frame rate) than zstd.
