Description
Describe the pattern you'd like to propose
Compressing and decompressing files creates overheads in time and energy usage. It takes time/energy to compress the file, send it and uncompress it.
Replacing gzip with ZSTD offers a reduction in compression size and compression timing. See numerical compression results in referenced blog post.
Describe specific emission impact from this pattern
Regarding SCI = ((E *I) * M) per R, parameter E will decline were gzip replaced with ztsd - quicker compression/decompression times and quicker transmission over a network (due to smaller file size) will result in less E consumed by the software.
