One nice thing about this is that the compression factor seems quite a bit higher than standard gzip. This is very useful if you need compatibility with gzip/zl

One nice thing about this is that the compression factor seems quite a bit higher than standard gzip. This is very useful if you need compatibility with gzip/zlib formats (e.g. PNG files). For my use case, the compressed output was 8% smaller using libdeflate compression=12 than with gzip compression=9. The compression was also a lot faster with a single thread. It would be nice to see a comparison with a larger number of inputs, however.
