Which of them is the best for you pretty much depends on your use - case, your data, your hardware - so you need to do an informed decision - about whether you want to use compression, which algorithm and which - level you want to use. This is why compression defaults to none. +Attic was rather unflexible when it comes to compression, it always +compressed using zlib level 6 (no way to switch compression off or +adjust the level or algorithm). + +|project_name| offers a lot of different compression algorithms and +levels.
