Thank you

Try to increase the chunk size.
Example

Code:

c16mb

Streams: 16463 / 16463

Time: 00:00:22 (CPU 00:01:55)



Size: 904 MB >> 1.13 GB







c128mb

Streams: 34470 / 34470

Time: 00:01:00 (CPU 00:05:33)



Size: 904 MB >> 1.61 GB

DSG example

Code:

 xtool:msodf+xtool:mzstd:zstd_150

Compressed 1 file, 947,551,704 => 1,211,599,784 bytes. Ratio 127.87%

Compression time: cpu 0.41 sec/real 24.32 sec = 2%. Speed 38.96 mB/s

All OK





 xtool:c128mb:msodf+xtool:mzstd:zstd_150

Compressed 1 file, 947,551,704 => 1,732,978,265 bytes. Ratio 182.89%

Compression time: cpu 0.45 sec/real 63.92 sec = 1%. Speed 14.82 mB/s

All OK

You can also try with higher chunk sizes like c256mb or c512mb and see what happens.

Where to change the DSG? in DSG_Settings? or like this?
