 The negative compression levels, specified with `--fast=#`,
-offer faster compression and decompression speed in exchange for some loss in
-compression ratio compared to level 1, as seen in the table above.
+offer faster compression and decompression speed
+at the cost of compression ratio (compared to level 1).
 
 Zstd can also offer stronger compression ratios at the cost of compression speed.
 Speed vs Compression trade-off is configurable by small increments.
