    The following post introduced Facebook's new free "Zstandard" compression algorithm and gives impressive benchmarks:
    https://code.facebook.com/posts/1658392934479273/smaller-and-faster-data-compression-with-zstandard/ .

    It e.g. supersedes Zopfli (https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/feature-requests/1261/).

    Let me suggest to add Zstandard to 7-Zip.

      Thank you! I have switched to that derivative - it's so much faster!
