      OMF: optimize secondary structure compression · edf723b6
      Studer Gabriel authored
      A few bytes can be squeezed out of secondary structures by using runlength
      encoding and transform to integer numbers 0,..7 instead of using the actual
      ASCII characters. An even more funky approach has been tried:
      introduce 4 bit integers which is sufficient to encode secondary structures.
      Two of them can be packed together in a 8 bit integer with some bit
      twiddling. File sizes decreased as expected (roughly 3% with respect to
      original size). However, after entropy compression, that advantage
      diminished, i.e. the simple run length encoding and dumping as 8bit
      integers compresses better. Assuming the application of gzip as the common
      use case, the 4bit version was dumped. Even though it was pretty cool ;)
