Subject: Re: When substitute download + decompression is CPU-bound

I compared gzip, lzip and zstd when compressing a 580 MB pack (therefore
containing "subsitutes" for several packages) with different compression
levels. Maybe the results can be of some use to someone.
Note that the plots only show the results using only 1 thread and
standard compression levels, and that the speed axis is using
logarithmic scale.
