Hello Adam,

I stumbled upon this fast lzma radix matchfinder that turned out to be twice as
fast, using half of memory single threaded, and even less multi threaded, with
only very slighlty worse compression ratio.
Thank you.
Twice as fast as what? Have you tried it against 'lzip -0'?
What is the difference with the matchfinders that have been tried and
discarded in lzip 1.11?
http://fresh-center.net/linux/lzip/ChangeLog
* Matchfinder types HC4 (4 bytes hash-chain) and HT4 (4 bytes hash-table)
have been tested and found no better than the current BT4.
What do you think of it?
Waiting for the comparison with 'lzip -0', my first impression is that it is
not worth the trouble of breaking lzip's reproducibility.
Best regards,
Antonio.
