@manawyrm that's why I ask: lz4 decompression is (at least on x86) *so* much faster that it's hard for me to imagine it using the same energy as gzip decompression! But if your tests show that's not the case, then my takeaway is that more hardware-compatible unpackers really are faster by giving the CPU fewer opportunities to do nothing and hence run with less power. Nice lesson!

@funkylab At that point, the other CPU cores also aren‘t up yet. That limits the performance somewhat.
