zstd with its default settings (compression level -3) compresses better than bzip2 -9 (which is the default setting), and is an order of magnitude faster. I made the following measurements for the most common compression tools (all standard Debian Buster versions, default flags unless noted otherwise), using the debug information of a large x86-64 kernel with ALL_KMODS: * kernel-debug.tar: 376M * kernel-debug.tar.gz: 101M, compressed in ~12s * kernel-debug.tar.bz2: 91M, compressed in ~15s * kernel-debug.tar.xz: 57M, compressed in ~101s * kernel-debug.tar.zst: 86M, compressed in ~1s With zstd, there is still some room for improvement by increasing the compression, but the slight increase in compression ratio (22.83% -> 19.46%) does not justify the significant increase in compression time (about 5 times on my machine) in my opinion. Note that multithreaded compression (-T argument) does not affect reproducibility with zstd. Signed-off-by: Matthias Schiffer <mschiffer@universe-factory.net> |
