snappy: Snappy (A fast compressor/decompressor) snappy: snappy: Snappy is a compression/decompression library. It does not aim for snappy: maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression snappy: library; instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable snappy: compression. For instance, compared to the fastest mode of zlib, Snappy snappy: is an order of magnitude faster for most inputs, but the resulting snappy: compressed files are anywhere from 20% to 100% bigger. On a single snappy: core of a Core i7 processor in 64-bit mode, Snappy compresses at about snappy: 250 MB/sec or more and decompresses at about 500 MB/sec or more. snappy: Snappy is widely used inside Google, in everything from BigTable and snappy: MapReduce to our internal RPC systems. snappy: Snappy has previously been referred to as "Zippy". snappy: snappy: Packaged by Georgi D.
