Reposted by Datastar Cult LeaderAnders Murphy @andersmurphy.bsky.social · 23/11/2025With #brotli over SSE, the window size is everything. If your window is thrashing (too small), you can use 100%+ more CPU. This also applies to compression. So you can use brotli 3 rather than 4 (recommend normally) have almost the same compression and be 40-50% faster. 081
