zstandard is the successor to lz4, there are attempts to integrate zstandar=
d in
ZFS, Allan Jude is working on that, I am working on integrating in libstand=
 to
allow to boot a kernel compressed with zstandard or a mfsroot with zstandar=
d,
which would benefit lots of pxe users.

I have also added it to newsyslog(8) so users can benefit zstandard compres=
sion
for the log files, which will consume less CPUs for greater compression that
bzip2. On low ended boxes with low storage this is actually very useful as =
well.

I haven't checked yet the performances on my armv6 boxes, but on the low en=

recent atom laptops I can tell this is already very useful.
