+> Performance Test With QATzip [ https://github.com/intel/QATzip/blob/master/README.md#performance-test-with-qatzip ]
+>
+> The first one - “Test QATzip” provides the basic usage of qzip binary, the compression binary.
+> You can perform basic test such as compression and decompression with this binary to check
+> the installation of QATzip binary.
+>
+> The second one, whose binary is in the test directory of source code, mentioned in
+> the performance test section, can be used for the verification of installation of QATzip lib.
+> However, this test binary is not packaged in the rpm package, from an aspect that the user
+> do not need to verify the installation... Since QATlib provides a different way of configuring
+> QAT hardware from the original out of tree driver, some of the performance test cases are deprecated.
