Research direction

Start by reading the Erlang/OTP zstd support proposal in PR 9316, then inspect how compression is handled in this repository. Determine whether zstd can be tried here and how its performance should be compared with the current approach. Done means a documented, working evaluation or integration with clear performance evidence.

Description

Erlang is adding support for zstd, which should allow faster compression.

That may help with performance here.
