#2Some more benchmarks on this[0] page
Also, I actually discovered something very interesting (to me at least). At the bottom of the link mentioned below, the link attached says https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd but then redirects to https://github.com/facebook/zstd . Anyone know why?
[0]: http://facebook.github.io/zstd/
EDIT: After a little bit of sleuthing, it looks like the author of zstd (github.com/Cyan4973) is now contributing[1] to github.com/facebook/zstd
And the page layout for lz4[2] looks the same as zstd[0]
Anyone know if Yann Collet works for/with facebook on things other than zstd?
EDIT 2: In the time it took me to google a couple things, looks like the children comments have already answered my questions.
Also, previous discussions on zstd (not that its completely relevant) -https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8941955 https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2tibrh/zstd_a_...

Cyan4973 is hired by Facebook. He is famous author of LZ4. Likely they decided to move their sponsor project to their organization most likely for PR.

It hasn't been long that I fetched zstd from https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd
Upon looking further, it turns out that the author Yann Collet [0] works with Facebook now; the repo would have been thus transferred to Facebook. Author's blog [1].

I believe this is just GitHub's standard behavior when a repository is moved to another namespace. We recently renamed https://github.com/D-Programming-Language to https://github.com/dlang , and e.g. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd redirects in the same way.

Presumably the ownership of the repo was transfered from Cyan4973, the main contributor, to facebook, and github automatically redirects.

yep, looks like it. Maybe just forgot to update the gh-pages branch.
