    It's obsolete. It's limited to 32KB LZ window with huffman coding. Zstd can use a much larger window (8MB recommended) and a much better entropy coder: https://github.com/Cyan4973/FiniteStateEntropy

    > The modern data compression is mainly based on two approaches to entropy coding: Huffman (HC) and arithmetic/range coding (AC). The former is much faster, but approximates probabilities with powers of 2, usually leading to relatively low compression rates. The latter uses nearly exact probabilities - easily approaching theoretical compression rate limit (Shannon entropy), but at cost of much larger computational cost.
