I've been running some tests on my regular server, where it seems that zstd offers better compression ratios than the default lzo-rle. Ratios are currently at 3.7 vs 2.6 according to netdata; I've seen them as far apart as 4 vs 2. Mostly a matrix server with a big database.

zstd could be slightly slower, although according to some benchmarks, it decompresses faster.
