Ha, fun exercise. Not much of a point as I will explain below, but here goes. 
Compression can be vastly sped up with some simple tweaks BTW.

Compression done [971490 ms]

Archive /home/stefan/linecomp-demo/enwik8.lc stats:
  98315K of text compressed into 38126K

So worse than gzip, which is to be expected - my compressor excels at multiple 
similar files, not one huge file.

If you supply only one file, there isn't really anything to exploit for the 
algorithm and it ends up duplicating gzip's work in a less efficient way.

Also my format is line-based which is great for comparing source code 
revisions.. and rather randomly good or bad for other stuff.
