> Why you don't disclose the compression time of brotli ?

I left it out because zstd didn't produce comparable output size.

I showed the compression and decompression speed at brotli at quality 7 that already compressed more densely than zstd at maximum setting. Of course it is a somewhat technically flawed comparison, because brotli gets an advantage for this kind of data from its dictionary, but I invite you to test using another set of files. (The three small compression benchmark files discussed earlier in this thread show similar trend.)
