Extreme mode uses more CPU than the equivalent non-extreme mode during *compression*. Memory requirements are just a little higher in extreme mode. It changes nothing on the decompressor side. It can produce a larger compressed stream than the non-extreme mode. Higher compression modes have MUCH higher memory requirements both for the compressior and the decompressor. For -z9, it is as bad as ~670MiB to compress, and ~65MiB to decompress. -z6 requires ~94MiB to compress, and ~9MiB to decompress.
