3. Information about the zstd package on openSUSE Leap

Information for package zstd:
-----------------------------
Repository : Main Repository
Name : zstd
Version : 1.5.0-150400.3.3.1
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : SUSE LLC
Installed Size : 2.3 MiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : zstd-1.5.0-150400.3.3.1.src
Upstream URL : https://github.com/facebook/zstd
Summary : Zstandard compression tools
Description :
Zstd, short for Zstandard, is a lossless compression algorithm. Speed
vs. compression trade-off is configurable in small increments.
Decompression speed is preserved and remains roughly the same at all
settings, a property shared by most LZ compression algorithms, such
as zlib or lzma.
At roughly the same ratio, zstd (v1.4.0) achieves ~870% faster
compression than gzip. For roughly the same time, zstd achives a
~12% better ratio than gzip. LZMA outperforms zstd by ~10% faster
compression for same ratio, or ~1–4% size reduction for same time.
