* Fedora announced intent to switch rpms to Zstd compression; the reported timings on the proposal paper https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Switch_RPMs_to_zstd_compression suggest to me that the measurement was not done with due statistical care with regard to CPU thermal throttling characteristics.
That's a proposal, nothing is decided yet. See the mail thread at the fedora-devel list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/...
[...] The problem is that even though we have a suitable version of rpm since Dec 2017, the maintainer did not enable zstd so the "compatibility time" accumulated since was unfortunately wasted.
It makes zero sense to enable features and add library dependencies when there is no plan to use them. And zstd isn't even is SLES (but fortunately in Leap). Just sayin...
