I'm going to compare that implementation with the generic-C implementation in liblzfse. Turns out there's one in there... If performance is close enough to the one from the assembly code...

@malthe - Can you check the lzfse branch please (be sure to initialise the submodule!)? A priori it should provide LZVN and LZFSE support on both Apple's architectures now.

>@RJVB works perfectly. That was fast! :) Both LZVN and LZFSE compression?

You could have tested with a single file ;) For reference, LZVN compression of a 128Mb file takes about 3.5s on my 2nd gen. i7 using the lzfse library. That's...

FWIW, it's always been a pet theory of mine that Apple don't provide a tool for in-place compression (and even less so, transparent automatic FS-level compression) because they also sell...

I can't say I'm very motivated to spend any significant amount of time on that. Not that I don't see the point but I wasn't even planning on doing more...

The code is stable in both branches AFAIAC and I know I should merge the lzfse branch into the master branch. Releases? I'm notoriously bad at decided what the version...

Not impossible, but complicated because you'll need to install a lot more things to even get the software to build. Your best bet to install a version of afsctool is...
