  Well there's other good news. While I was working with about 2Mb 
for the data size in general, it can be reduced it looks like to 
about 8k-16k, and run entirely on the stack. It doesn't appear to 
gain any speed, or any speed gained is lost with better memory 
management.

  Although based on how things look, the id_compress might perform 
better with a max window of 255 and max match of 127. I'll give 
the original one a tweak based on my own findings and see if it 
turns out true.
