Zhuff is a compression software designed for speed (especially decompression speed).
Schematically, it consists of LZ4 & FSE merged together.
Zhuff is several times faster than Zip's fastest mode.
Zhuff also proposes High Compression modes (-c1 and -c2), using MMC match search algorithm, which will trade some CPU cycles for more compression. See benchmark results below.
Note : Zhuff is now obsolete. Its successor is Zstandard, which is open sourced on github.
Download : Zhuff v0.99 beta (portable binary)
- Both 32-bits & 64-bits versions provided
Compression evaluation :
In-memory benchmark (-b command), using Silesia Corpus
Benchmark platform : Core i5-3340M (2.7GHz), Window Seven 64-bits
