I have the world's fastest compression algorithm. Some quick preliminary benchmarks against LZ4:

Silesia mozilla

• LZ4 -1: 717.1MB/s encode, 3057.9MB/s decode, 1.938 ratio
• me: 553.5MB/s encode, 5305.8MB/s decode, 1.991 ratio

I'm nearly 75% faster to decode with slightly better ratio. My encoder hasn't received much love but will become faster than LZ4 with more work.

• LZ4 -1: 645.7MB/s encode, 2985.8MB/s decode, 3.033 ratio
• me: 644.4MB/s encode, 5317.8MB/s decode, 2.924 ratio

78% faster with slightly worse ratio.

More to come.
