Yes, zstd is definitely on the todo list. The increased performance should be quite welcome on low power edge devices.
I tried to get it to work, but had some trouble with the existing javascript bindings. I have only recently started developing in the javascript ecosystem.

It's not only increased performance. Since you can precompute a dictionary with zstd, you'll (most likely) get much better compression. Or you can at least stick to smaller block sizes.
