Comment on Hellishly Slow Level 13 Deflate Compressionparent

Comments

For decompression, nothing changes because DEFLATE is asymmetric; compressor can spend however much time to optimize the compressed stream independently from decompressor.

Deflate also has a fixed 32K window so even with indexes and parallelism there’s only so much you can blow up memory use.
