Hi Nathan,

this sounds worthwhile to me at a high level, but I'm not sure about
us being able to implement a reasonable heuristic. In particular, the
mentioned "huffman encoding" doesn't sound like an improvement over
the current strategy? I suppose you're not referring to the
compression algorithm? Maybe I misunderstand, it would help to see a
concrete example.

Thanks
