# Data Compression Benchmark

This project benchmarks the performance of various compression algorithms (zstd, brotli, gzip) using different compression levels on all files in a given directory.

You can easily see which algorithm and setting is best for your use case, benchmarking on the actual files you'll be compressing.

## How to Run

The recommended way is to use [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) to run from git:

```fish
uvx --from git+https://git.zi.fi/LeoVasanko/compression-benchmark.git compression-benchmark /path/to/folder
```
