Intro In this article, we'll be showing compress + decompress benchmarks for 4 of the most popular Linux compression
algorithms: gzip , bzip2 (using lbzip2), xz , and lz4 . Spoiler: There isn't a "best" compression algorithm, because every tool / algorithm has tradeoffs, whether it's speed, RAM usage, CPU usage, faster/slow decompression than compression, among other tradeoffs.
