Re: #578: getting real-ish numbers for option 3

BTW, I forgot to say something, I was very surprized to find the encoding
for character zero in the huffmann table be shorter than some non-ascii
encodings, and the same size as some chars such as '$' or '@'. I wonder
how this byte could have landed here with such a high frequency. Wouldn't
this mean that the trailing zero of analyzed strings was accidentely
counted when the table was built ? That probably has a very minimal impact
on the overall compression ratio but I found this surprizing.

Willy
