The

+Faster speeds at the cost of the compression ratio can be requested by
+setting a negative
+.Sy zstd
+level. This is done using
+.Sy zstd-fast- Ns Em N ,
+where
+.Em N
+is an integer in [1-9,10,20,30,...,100,500,1000] which maps to a negative
+.Sy zstd
+level. The lower the level the faster the compression - 1000 provides
