[gdal-dev] Question on TIFF compression alternatives

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi, 

I have a question on TIFF compression alternatives. 

My data of concern is 8bit gray value. Lots of white pixel (>95%), the
rest is black pixels (content) and some gray pixels because of
antialiasing. 

I would like to compress to save some storage, but I need a good
performance. What is the recommended compression that is fast on
decompression? 

I tried DEFLATE, but it is rather slow to decompress. Would LZW or
PACKBITS be preferred in this situation? How about LZMA? I would like to
avoid non-compressed data, because I use SSD storage for performance
reasons. 

Thanks for you reply, 

Andreas
