16 So, I've no idea how that guy managed to squeeze it down so much, but
17 after a week of importing (and a hour or so compressing) I got down to
18 930Mb, which is pretty close to what Donnie managed earlier. I can do
19 increments pretty easily now, and I'm having a go repacking it at
20 - --window=100 (I don't want to push the depth up much more since it has
21 an affect on decompression). Also, it's all in one big pack file, which
22 may not be ideal. So all in all, my experiments didn't turn up anything
23 new, but nevermind... 5:)
