Comment on Hellishly Slow Level 13 Deflate Compressionparent

Comments

To be a little pedantic, the usual zstd levels are positive integers (1-22 default 3). The negative integers denote "fast" modes with worse compression (there are only a few of these).

I think those are CLI options, not negative signs. Ie. you call zstd -3 for compression level 3.

Whoops! You're right, and it's too late to edit.
