The README says:

  "In our tests, Snappy usually is faster than algorithms in the same class (e.g. LZO, LZF, FastLZ, QuickLZ, etc.) while achieving comparable compression ratios."


Interesting, I had missed that. It also says

> Finally, snappy can benchmark Snappy against a few other compression libraries (zlib, LZO, LZF, FastLZ and QuickLZ), if they were detected at configure time.

I'll do some tests, I'm curious about the results


Please post the results :)
