+     LZO is a data compression library which is suitable for data
+     de-/compression in real-time. This means it favours speed over
+     compression ratio.
+
+     LZO implements a number of algorithms with the following features:
+        + Decompression is simple and *very* fast.
+        + Requires no memory for decompression.
+        + Compression is pretty fast.
+        + Requires 64 kB of memory for compression.
+        + Allows you to dial up extra compression at a speed cost in the
+          compressor. The speed of the decompressor is not reduced.
+        + Includes compression levels for generating pre-compressed data
+          which achieve a quite competitive compression ratio.
+        + There is also a compression level which needs only 8 kB for
+          compression.
+        + Algorithm is thread safe.
+        + Algorithm is lossless.
