> For compressing values, BKDReader only relies on shared prefixes in a block.
> We could probably easily do better. For instance there are only 256 possible
> values for the first byte of the dimension that the values are sorted by, yet
> we use a block size of 1024. So by using something simple like run-length
> compression we could save 6 bits per value on average.
