I'd really like to thank Cyan for their contributions. `zstd` and `lz4` are great. I'm pretty much exclusively using `zstd` for my tarball needs in the present day as it beats the pants off `gzip` and for plane text code (most of what I compress) it performs amazingly. (shameless self promotion) I wrote my own tar clone to make usage of it [1].

It is nice to have disk IO be the limiting factor on decompression even when you are using NVMe drives.
