Oodle Results Update

Major improvements coming in Oodle 2.1.2

Fabian's BitKnit is coming to Oodle. BitKnit is a pretty unique LZ; it makes clever use of the properties of RANS to hit a space-speed tradeoff point that nothing else does. It gets close to LZMA compression levels (sometimes more, sometimes less) while being more like zlib speed.

LZNA and LZNIB are also much improved. The bit streams are the same, but we found some little tweaks in the encoders & decoders that make significant difference. (5-10%, but that's a lot in compression, and they were already world-beating, so the margin is just bigger now). The biggest improvement came from some subtle issues in the parsers.

As usual, I'm trying to be as fair as possible to the competition. Everything is run single threaded. LZMA and LZHAM are run at max compression with context bits at their best setting. Compressors like zlib that are just not even worth considering are not included, I've tried to include the strongest competition that I know of now. This is my test of "slowies" , that is, all compressors set at high (not max) compression levels. ("oohc" is Oodle Optimal1 , my compression actually goes up quite a bit at higher levels, but I consider anything below 2 mb/s to encode to be just too slow to even consider).
