Would this help with drpms similar to how it helps with faster yum

Unfortunately not. The drpm rebuild process involves recompressing the
rpm, so we'd be affected by the compression speed, not the
decompression speed. With zstd compression level > 15, the drpm
rebuild speed would actually slow down (possibly quite significantly).
