  • Using netcat and lz4c to copy files between servers

    Adds high-performance, lightweight lz4 compression to speed the transfer of files over a trusted network link. Using (insecure) netcat results in a much faster transfer than using a ssh tunnel because of the lack of overhead. Also, LZ4 is as fast or faster than LZ0, much faster than gzip or LZMA, an in a worst-case scenario, incompressible data gets increased by 0.4% in size. Using LZMA or gzip compressors makes more sense in cases where the network link is the bottleneck, whereas LZ4 makes more sense if CPU time is more of a bottleneck.
