Show HN: misa77 - a codec that decodes 2x faster than LZ4 (at better ratios)
Summary
Misa77 is an open-source LZ-based codec focused on extremely fast decompression and modest compression ratios, with two compression levels and experimental modes. The article provides benchmark results against fast codecs like LZ4 and zstd across Silesia and enwik8, highlighting its strength in decode speed and Pareto frontier positioning, while noting slower compression. It also covers building, usage, and status as experimental.
