  1. Zip compressing 100mb random data in 60kb? That’s impossible. In fact, it’s very similar for all test inputs, another huge red flag.

    What is happening (from a quick look): After compression, you take the position of the Cursor instead of the length of the compressed data – the whole point of a Cursor is that it’s seekable.

    Also, take a look at the lz4_flex and lzzzz, decompressing in 5.3/7.6 ns – impossibly fast – regardless of input (with one exception that has realistic time). It’s not actually decompressing the data. I don’t know why though, maybe criterion::black_box is failing?

  2. Hi, this is a nice comparison and you put quite some effort into it.

    However, as like many other statistics, it would require additional details on how the data was measured to make the data usable.
    Such as, are those numbers from a single run? Is it a mean value? If it is a mean value, how often was it executed (cold cache, hot cache, …)? If it is a mean value, how big are the outliers, variance or standard deviation.

    Disclaimer: did not look at the Github project, since I prefer to have this information directly available with the data tables.
