Density Compression

[victorstewart]

i saw in the Release Notes a mention towards compression, and that LZ4 is the only option.

thought you should check out Density as its compression rate is MUCH higher.

actually iterating through all the various compression inputs on https://quixdb.github.io/squash-benchmark/ it's basically either lz4 or density leading depending on the input. but they also might be using one of the slower algorithms, and not a dictionary one.

it seems Density has been archived, but ZSTD would be a great other choice

Could you explain what some advantages are of zstd over lz4?
