I have tested snzip 1.0.4.

It compresses about as well as lz4, but more slowly. It also decompresses more slowly.

It is faster than zstd -1, but compresses less well.

It is possible that it does better with certain kinds of data, but 12x remains implausible.

Apparently the current file format has suffix ".sz".
