I guess the cause is in your compiler, because the compression code has not  
changed between 1.24 and 1.25.  Turns out that was compiled with Clang. 
Confusion come from the fact that when I checked strings for GCC and got 
exactly the same as with v1.25-rc1  ~~~  $ strings prog | grep GCC:  ~~~   But 
when dug a bit the net I found this tool:  ~~~  $ objdump -s --section .comment 
prog  ~~~   that shown clang along with GCC, therefore I had to conclude it was 
compiled with Clang.   Sorry for false alarm.   --   Plzip faster compression 
and slower decompression is still a thing.   ~~~  $ time lzip-1.25-rc1 -kf 
mozilla    real    0m48.818s  user    0m48.310s  sys     0m0.248s   $ time 
plzip-1.12-rc1 -kf -n1 mozilla    real    0m43.435s  user    0m43.165s  sys     
0m0.290s   $ time for i in `seq 1 10`; do lzip-1.25-rc1 -t mozilla.lz; done   
real    0m21.027s  user    0m20.726s  sys     0m0.222s   $ time for i in `seq 1 
10`; do plzip-1.12-rc1 -t mozilla.lz; done   real    0m23.625s  user    
0m23.323s  sys     0m0.224s  ~~~
