Decompression speed remains fast at all settings.
* `--fast[=#]`:

+ Switch to ultra-fast compression levels.
The higher the value, the faster the compression speed, at the cost of some compression ratio.
If `=#` is not present, it defaults to `1`.
This setting overrides compression level if one was set previously.
Similarly, if a compression level is set after `--fast`, it overrides it.
+* `--favor-decSpeed`:
+ Generate compressed data optimized for decompression speed.
+ Compressed data will be larger as a consequence (typically by ~0.5%),
+ while decompression speed will be improved by 5-20%, depending on use cases.
+ This option only works in combination with very high compression levels (>=10).
+
* `-D dictionaryName`:
Compress, decompress or benchmark using dictionary _dictionaryName_.
Compression and decompression must use the same dictionary to be compatible.
