    ntfs compression

    btrfs compression was really cpu-heavy last time i tried it. ntfs compression just worked with little hassle

      Might’ve been a while since you tried. There’s quite a few options now. zstd is real nice and fast.

      can’t you change the compression algorithm, or its compression level?

      but yeah it would be much better if we could set it on a per-file basis, and also on demand so that it can compress/decompress a file in place

        i tried many different algorithms at the time, but it didn’t really matter. my laptop would always, eventually, lag and get pretty hot and I would check the task manager and sure enough there were the btrfs compression proccesses hogging the cpu
