Now, we want to tell you about another major milestone – the use of a new compression algorithm for snaps offers 2-3x improvement in application startup times! LZO and XZ algorithmsīy default, snaps are packaged as a compressed, read-only squashfs filesystem using the XZ algorithm. Last year, we talked about improved snap startup times following fontconfig cache optimization. We are well aware of this phenomenon, and we have invested significant effort and time in resolving any speed gaps, while keeping security in mind. Snaps are self-contained applications, with layered security, and as a result, sometimes, they may have reduced perceived performance compared to those same applications offered via traditional Linux packaging mechanisms. A great user experience is one that manages to blend the two in a way that does not compromise on robust, solid foundations of security on one hand, and a fast, responsive software interaction on the other. ![]() Security and performance are often mutually exclusive concepts.
