The results for decompression, but no compression, are all surprisingly bad compared to other benchmarks, how comes? For example 7-zip decompression performs worse than my 7700X (84 K mips vs 93 K mips on my 7700X). Other decompression benchs are equally depressing. But compression performs as expected (as much as 30% faster than my 7700X).
What can explain those disappointing results but only on decompression?
Modern decompression is compute-bound typically (AFAIK), not memory-bound. It is in fact common to use compression as a workaround for memory-bound workloads to turn them into compute-bound ones.
