Re: Reasons to not use huffman encoding?

Thanks for the inputs.  So, seems case-by-case, with most decisions being
relatively static.

if huffmanNotDisabledDueToSomeCPUConcern
and worthItToCheckLengthWithAndWithoutHuffman
and foundHuffmanShorter
huffmanEncode

Is that a fair summary?

I'm guessing that in most cases, you'll have a buffer with a known length,
so above comparison is probably worth it in most cases.
