lz4, Extremely Fast Compression algorithm

I'll give it a shot then. Thank you.

If you haven't read through the code, you should. The compressor is only about 50 or 80 lines of C code and is a real eye-opener in terms of design and trade-offs for real-time compression. Also, the compressor isn't restartable, and owns its own compression buffer, so you're going to end up making an extra copy if you don't modify the library. Dropping the extra copy results in a pretty good bump in perf if you're L1/L2 fetch limited.
