29 // A light-weight compression algorithm.  It is designed for speed of
30 // compression and decompression, rather than for the utmost in space
31 // savings.
32 //
33 // For getting better compression ratios when you are compressing data
34 // with long repeated sequences or compressing data that is similar to
35 // other data, while still compressing fast, you might look at first
36 // using BMDiff and then compressing the output of BMDiff with
37 // Snappy.
