Hi, I was checking https://github.com/mumez/sqnappy. Some time ago I wrote bindings for LZ4: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~marianopeck/LZ4 Do you know which are the differences? It looks both are intended for the same purpose: speed in decompression/compression over compression ratio. From what I can see in http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/p/lz4.html it says encoding 555 MB/s decoding 1.80 GB/ while in https://code.google.com/p/snappy/ it says "Snappy compresses at about 250 MB/sec or more and decompresses at about 500 MB/sec or more." So...doesn't LZ4 seem to be faster than sqnappy? And I already wrote the bindings for LZ4...so I was wondering that... Best regards, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
