Comment on Hellishly Slow Level 13 Deflate Compression

Comments

It's interesting to see just how far Deflate can be taken, and to know that even after decades there is still some (admittedly tiny) room for improvement. Optimal LZ is well-known, and so is static Huffman, but their combination creates some additional inefficiencies(opportunities).
