#21758: Improve compression estimators for directory spooling ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: nickm | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Tor: 0.3.1.x-final Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: prop278 Actual Points: | Parent ID: #21662 Points: .5 | Reviewer: Sponsor: Sponsor4 | ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Once we have zstd compression in place, we should improve the estimated ratio in estimate_compression_ratio(). We could also do well to have that function consider the _size_ of the input data, since bigger data sets compress better.
(I'm deliberately only saying zstd here, not lzma2: We should never do lzma2 compression on the fly, so we shouldn't need to estimate the size of the output for spooling purposes.) Calling this "low" priority because "0.5" isn't that bad of an estimate. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21758> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
