Certainly. I just mean that it's important to compare Brotli against compression schemes that are targeted at the same design space to see how well it compares against it's real competition. Another candidate for comparison is LZHAM which is basically LZMA using huffman coding instead of range coding. -Jeff _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
