Compression Levels

Zstd offers highest compression with consistent decompression speeds; however compression is slow. Level must be set accordingly to specific CPU to set an ideal backup time.

Backups are archives, spend the time to maximally compress.

Level	MB/s (per core)	MB/S Effective	1GB data (8 cores)
22	2-3	3.5MB/s	286s
15	4-11	25MB/s	40s
10	30-100	200MB/s	5s (gzip equivalent)
