LZ4 is a lossless compression algorithm focused on extremely fast compression and decompression . Version 1.8.3 is a stable, maintenance release of the reference C implementation, compiled natively for 64-bit Windows environments. Unlike general-purpose compressors (e.g., gzip, zstd at high levels), LZ4 prioritizes speed over compression ratio, making it ideal for real-time scenarios.
The distinction between 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) is crucial when dealing with high-speed compression. lz4 v1.8.3 win64
