Some benchmark results (compression):
gzip:
about 10 times the speed for a 12M text file
about 13 times the speed for a lot of regular sized files (tar.gz)
about 10% faster for a lot of small files (tar.gz)
snappy:
about 3 times the speed for a 12M text file
about 5 times the speed for a lot of regular sized files (tar.sz)
about 20% slower for a lot of small files (tar.sz)
no difference in size of compressed files, +0.2M in binary size in release mode
