minus-squarePetteriPano@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 month agoMight’ve been a while since you tried. There’s quite a few options now. zstd is real nice and fast.
minus-squareReversalHatchery@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agocan’t you change the compression algorithm, or its compression level? but yeah it would be much better if we could set it on a per-file basis, and also on demand so that it can compress/decompress a file in place
minus-squarebeleza puralinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoi tried many different algorithms at the time, but it didn’t really matter. my laptop would always, eventually, lag and get pretty hot and I would check the task manager and sure enough there were the btrfs compression proccesses hogging the cpu
