Still WiP but we're getting somewhere -

This shows the performance under different number of bits in the integer, how much it compresses by and under different loss rates / dropouts.

Beautiful

i have 100 ascending random 17bit numbers, how much can it compress it to?

do you mean each one is always bigger than the previous? How close is it usually to the previous?

Oof that's a hard one. There's nothing that jumps out to me, if you need it precisely.
