Over all, ZSTD has slower WRITE, but much faster READ (perhaps
a static compression buffer used during the test helped ZSTD a
lot), which results in faster test results.

Minchan said:

: I did test with my sample data and compared zstd with deflate.  zstd's
: compress ratio is lower a little bit but compression speed is much faster
: 3 times more and decompress speed is too 2 times more.  With different
: data, it is different but overall, zstd would be better for speed at the
: cost of a little lower compress ratio(about 5%) so I believe it's worth to
: replace deflate.
