I think it's likely that LZ4 remains the default. There are almost no downsides to having LZ4 enabled.

zstd is more likely to represent an obsolescence of gzip. It surpasses gzip pretty much always.




Just going by those graphs, I could double my compression ratio by going from lz4 to zstd-1 without going below the speeds the drives in my pool can manage. The usual caveats apply, but it seems to me that this is a pretty good upgrade for the usual case where you're using hard drives instead of fast ssds in a pool.


This sounds good for fileservers. But generally speaking, computers usually do more than i/o.
