Clarification on the compression methods? about compactor HOT 1 OPEN

It's likely to also be slower on decompressing, but it depends on your CPU and your disk. If you're bottlenecked by disk, the smaller files produces by LZX might well speed up access, but the converse could also be true. Caching could even make both true on the same system at different times

I do want to add a quick benchmark at some point so you get some idea of how fast your CPU is at each algorithm, but this is never going to be more than a vague guideline. Your best bet is just to try it and see.
