One more question: is there any way to speed up decompression? I've tried XLolz, which is very faster in compression rather than lolz, but decompression is slower and compression ratio is not as good as lolz.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Don't use XLolz - there's absolutely no need for it to exist. Lolz decompression speed through cls-lolz plugin is imensely quick and already much faster to the point where your limiting factor is the speed of your storage medium, not the algo.

Your decompression speed will be limited by any precompressor you have used and what algo it's trying to recompress. I think you were talking about CyberPunk 2077, right? That game uses Oodle Kraken compression and XTool is working it's ass off to compress that for you as quick as possible.
