QuickLZ 1.10, The Fastest Just Got Faster
Posted by Sachin Garg on 27th November 2006 | Permanent Link
Since the time we first noticed it, QuickLZ has come a long way (like it now has its own domain name). To quote its author Lasse Reinhold, “Version 1.10 is out - kicks LZO’s b*** at decompression speed ;-)”
New in this version:
Now compatible with x86, x64, IA64, Alpha, SPARC, MIPS, POWER and the like. For x86/x64: Increased average speed of compression by 3 Mbyte/s and decompression by 19 Mbyte/s on the test machines. Programming interface: Some arguments are now void* instead of char*. Bugs: None (upgrade not critical).
If you are looking for more than decent compression at breathtaking speeds, look no further (if you are not convinced by results on QuickLZ homepage, check these).
