 Zstd can also offer stronger compression ratios at the cost of compression speed.
 Speed vs Compression trade-off is configurable by 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.
