LZO
LZO is a data compression algorithm that is focused on speed, particularly for decompression. LZO is an abbreviation for Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer. The algorithm is lossless and the source is thread safe.
A free software tool which implements it is LZOP. The original library was written in ANSI C, and it has been made available under the GNU General Public License. Versions of LZO are available for the Perl, Python and Java languages. The copyright for the code is owned by Markus F. X. J. Oberhumer.
