Fixed-width binary data (e.g., a sequence of double floats) often benefit from a simpler transform: just transpose the bits/bytes so that, e.g., the least significant bytes form a contiguous region, followed by all the second least significant bytes, etc. > Meant for binary data: can take advantage of the type size meta-information for improved compression ratio (using the integrated shuffle pre-conditioner). makes it sound like that's what Blosc is doing.
