gollark: Well, people *can* eventually improve this.

gollark: You're not *obligated* to or I would complain more.

gollark: Also, you should contribute the thing back to open source such that future people will be able to build on your thing.

gollark: Just use your thing on itself an arbitrary number of times.

gollark: It seems like it's able to beat zstd and brotli a bit on that input, although I haven't checked if it actually decompresses right.
