Experimental lossless compression — enwik9 scores

—

—

—

Dataset: enwik9 — the first 1,000,000,000 bytes of English Wikipedia from the Large Text Compression Benchmark. Rankings are only officially comparable on that same file.

Main benchmark

Comparison

Same enwik9 input. Neighbors are the five LTCB compressors just smaller and just larger than Lotus. Lotus is measured on this server at deploy time.

Codec Mode Compressed size Ratio

Performance metrics

Full enwik9 with HeksX, plus gzip -9 as a baseline. Lower is better on every chart. Memory is peak resident set size (RSS).

HeksX

25 sequential 10 MB imports from enwik9 into one HeksX library. Compression ratio, compression speed, and decompression speed share one chart as imported size grows from 10 MB to 250 MB.

World ranking

Current Lotus development score: —

This ladder is estimated from published LTCB compressed sizes. It is not an official ranking until Lotus is listed on that benchmark.
