zlibSync compressed size is larger than pako

[yisibl]

I am trying to migrate ttf2woff from pako to fflate and found that the file size has become bigger.

You can run node example/index.js from this repository https://github.com/yisibl/ttf2woff-fflate/tree/master/fixtures

File Size
oldWoff(pako) : 9536
newWoff(fflate): 9592

For certain types of data fflate is slightly less effective than Pako, but it should rarely be much worse in compression ratio and will almost never be slower. A difference of about 1% as you're seeing here is not unusual.

Thanks, for example for font files, is there a possibility to improve fflate?

[101arrowz]

It is possible but unlikely. Algorithmically, fflate is pretty much complete.

Thanks!
