DirectStorage ^-^ just write compressible formats and don't compress them ^-^ let the hardware do it >.<
faster to let ur dedicated LZ silicon do the LZing instead of writing ur own custom high-throughput decompression alg u know

@charlotte this feels very special purpose and not something we could apply generally to computing

is that the use case?

@electrocutie no, the traditional way is decompressing assets on the CPU
