Database compression

Post by random_username »

I suggest using brotli for database compression, as it's extremely fast and was able to reduce a large database with "content" indexes from 3.6GB to 0.98GB using the fastest preset

nevermind, i thought brotli by default was multithreaded. At that point it's better to use something like zstd

FWIW, In Everything 1.5 database compression is no longer an option.
It could cause issues when rebooting the system. Compressing large databases could take too long before the actual reboot took place.
