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. + + Author: Markus Franz Xaver Johannes Oberhumer + markus.oberhumer@jk.uni-linz.ac.at + http://www.infosys.tuwien.ac.at/Staff/lux/marco |
