For the smaller corpora, the shape is roughly the same when accounting for the previously stated fact that they are generally compressed better in all metrics.

At the highest range of compression (smallest compressed sizes, >70% size reduction), there are four contenders: rust-lzma, brotli/brotlic (which have similar overall performance), bzip2, and zstd.
rust-lzma achieves the best compression and, at a given speed, generally compresses faster than zstd and brotli.
