Is snappy slower than gzip in decompression

Hello,

From my simple benchmark for a util that is using snappy/gzip for compression,
I noticed that snappy is 10x faster than gzip in compression, but it's slower by 2x in decompression.
I'm wondering if I'm using incorrectly or whether this is an expected performance.

Thanks,

The issue mentions a utility using snappy/gzip and a simple benchmark, but names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the benchmark and reproducing the compression and decompression comparison; the issue needs a confirmed, actionable performance problem or an explanation of the expected behavior before implementation can be considered done.
