Thanks, Gasper! Basically we observe same 0.65 time reduction here.

That's very good that we have independent scores.

I'm still somewhat not sure that score is fair, on payload 000000010000000000000008 we have vanilla decompression
sometimesslower than hacked by few percents. And this is especially visible on AMD. Degradation for
000000010000000000000008sliced by 8Kb reaches 10% 

I think this is because 000000010000000000000008 have highest entropy.It is almost random and matches are very short,
butpresent. 
000000010000000000000008
Entropy = 4.360546 bits per byte.
000000010000000000000006
Entropy = 1.450059 bits per byte.
000000010000000000000001
Entropy = 2.944235 bits per byte.
