Yes, certainly an RLE-style compression would work better in this instance,
but I wanted to see how well standard compression algorithms would work
without doing something custom. If there are other standard compression
schemes better suited to this, please let me know.
As far as relevance, I'll c
You compressed something which is truly natively a bitfield using regular
compression algorithms? That is expected to get horrible results. Much
better would be something which handles it natively, say doing run length
encoding on the number of repeated bits and compressing that using elias
omega e
