The numbers speak for themselves. LZ4 consistently provides compression speeds around and decompression speeds surpassing 1–2 GB/s per core . This frequently translates to decompression times measured in the multiple GB per second range, often hitting the physical speed limits of your RAM or SSD hardware.
: Blazing speed reaching 400+ MB/s per core during compression, and multiple GB/s per core during decompression. modded 7zip for lz4
This is where a modded version of 7-Zip featuring the LZ4 algorithm changes the game. By combining the familiar, robust user interface of 7-Zip with the blistering speed of LZ4, power users get the best of both worlds. What is LZ4 and Why Use It? The numbers speak for themselves
Similar to the Zstd fork, this project focuses on "extra" codecs. It is frequently used in the gaming community for repacking assets where decompression speed is critical for fast load times. How to Use LZ4 in 7-Zip : Blazing speed reaching 400+ MB/s per core
Once the plugin is installed or you are using a full fork like 7-Zip ZS, you can utilize LZ4 via the command line. The syntax is very similar to standard 7-Zip, with the addition of the -m0=lz4 switch to specify the LZ4 method.
