> It offers particularly high decompression throughput on highly compressible files.You know, you would expect that this is commonly observed. You'd expect, say, simple RLE (run length encoding) to be like this. It's more expensive to produce output requiring the processing of a large number of RLE opcodes that produce short sequences than one opcode that produces one long sequence.
