Ot: Need Help With Compression Technique

Hi! I am working on a compression technique and am having a problem: I'm not doing well enough. I am using LZ77, Canonical Huffman codes, BPE and some of my own ideas. Based on the information I gave, what can I do to improve the technique?

 

Have a look at the method used by KGB archiver and preferably on modern hardware. For a highly compressible file format like a bitmap you should achieve compression of around 5.6%. To achieve such compression level (on modern hardware) you're looking at using 1.5GB ram and 20% cpu over 8 cores. To compress a 1.5MB bitmap is going to take 30 to 40 seconds, making this a highly impractical method.

Personally I'd just use 7zip's LZMA2 method at extreme as the best trade off between compression vs time.

 

I thank you. I'll look at LZMA2 now.

 

I tried two techniques from there. They didn't work with my technique.
