+aim for maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression library;
+instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression. For instance,
+compared to the fastest mode of zlib, Snappy is an order of magnitude faster
+for most inputs, but the resulting compressed files are anywhere from 20% to
+100% bigger.")
