Anyone want to make a stab at making it faster? Changing the format is
fair game, as well as down and dirty assembler if that's what it takes.
So really, how good are you at fast code?
Is LZ4 acceptable ?
If so the current C implementation is hard to beat.
And maybe it's best to just copy it in.
Agree. I've had the best results with LZ4. We can either link to the C
code, or port it to D. It's very trivial.
