I've added basic bit packing to the frequencies table, so long as the dictionary doesn't dominate like in a pangram it's slightly smaller than two arithmetic (static and adaptive) examples I could find online. I understand this isn't the best that arithmetic can do, next I'll look into that.

Never was trying to compare to NNs or PPM (or even simple LZ), since all this algorithm does is look at the frequency counts.

Agree it's not very practical and very expensive calculations, just fun to work on.
