minus-squarebeleza puralinkfedilink1•9 months agontfs compression btrfs compression was really cpu-heavy last time i tried it. ntfs compression just worked with little hassle
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•9 months agoMight’ve been a while since you tried. There’s quite a few options now. zstd is real nice and fast.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agocan’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
minus-squarebeleza puralinkfedilink1•9 months agoi 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
