Do you understand the huffmann encoding? I dont know anything about
that part of the code. Would using a fixed table give a significant
speedup? We could try and add it to the -f option. Another related
thing is to just use all scalefactors=0 for -f. This would mean just
one pass through outer_loop, makeing the code much faster. With no
psy-model, there is really no good way to tell which combination of
scalefactors is better than any other combination.
