LZ4 not LZFSE.

> Windows/Linux treat RAM like a stream of bytes (similar to how you’d compress a .zip file) so it’s not as efficient.

That doesn't really follow. There are faster and slower compression algorithms no matter what, and 64-bit integers are kind of a waste of memory much of the time.

Also, unified memory has tradeoffs. The GPU improvements are real but it mostly means more pressured on memory, not less.
