 The \fBzle\fR (zero-length encoding) compression algorithm is a fast and simple algorithm to eliminate runs of zeroes.

+The \fBlz4\fR compression algorithm is a high-performance replacement
+for the \fBlzjb\fR algorithm. It features significantly faster
+compression and decompression, as well as a moderately higher
+compression ratio than \fBlzjb\fR, but can only be used on pools with
