## lzo-1.08p4 – portable speedy lossless data compression library

## Description

    LZO is a data compression library which is suitable for data
    de-/compression in real-time. This means it favours speed over
    compression ratio.

    LZO implements a number of algorithms with the following features:
       + Decompression is simple and *very* fast.
       + Requires no memory for decompression.
       + Compression is pretty fast.
       + Requires 64 kB of memory for compression.
       + Allows you to dial up extra compression at a speed cost in the
         compressor. The speed of the decompressor is not reduced.
       + Includes compression levels for generating pre-compressed data
         which achieve a quite competitive compression ratio.
       + There is also a compression level which needs only 8 kB for
         compression.
       + Algorithm is thread safe.
       + Algorithm is lossless.
