Request article

[chalabam]

I request an article with benchmarks for the different algorithms that Windows 10 natively uses for file compression.

By default it uses XPRESS4K, but it can also use XPRESS8K, XPRESS16K or LZX (I don't know if lz4 can also be used).

How do those formats compare in compression level and speed?

Okay - you have posted your request.

However, it is not our role to do research or homework.

Contact Microsoft and ask them about their algorithms.

Or post again with your own comparisons and cited references.
