With 1 Million iterations:

new_compress: TickDuration(311404604)
id_compress   TickDuration(385806589)

  Approx 20% increase in speed (if i'm reading and did this right).

  I won't take this as the final verdict, but it is promising at 
least... Need a larger test sample to benchmark both functions 
against.

  Sample data is 
"E.s!(E.s!(E.s!(E.s!(E.s!(int).s(int).Result).s(E.s!(int)." etc
