"compression" … sure.. but bmdiff? Not that I can find.  BMDiff is an
algorithm that in some situations could result in 100000x compression due
to the way it's able to find long commons runs.  This is a pathological
case though.  But if you were to copy the US constitution into itself
… 100000x… bmdiff could ideally get a 100000x compression rate.

not all compression algorithms are identical.
