From 39debb222955c57fb0d4157388a3836c7db8fa7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Karpeles Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 09:28:48 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf(lzss,huffman): hash-chain match finder + table Huffman decode MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Reviewed the codec suite for optimization headroom (bench across every algorithm). Two clear algorithmic wins, both keeping output correct: lzss encode: the finder compared each position against all 4096 ring-buffer slots — O(N·n) regardless of content, so incompressible input collapsed to ~0.3 MB/s. Replace it with a hash chain over the raw input (translating a match source at input position `cand` to the decoder's ring index `(cand + N - F) & (N - 1)`). Output size is unchanged because it depends only on match lengths, which the fully-walked chain reproduces; only the tie-broken source position can differ. ~9x faster on text, ~700x on random at 1 MiB; compressed sizes within 0.01% across text/binary/zeros/code. huffman decode: the canonical decoder walked each code one bit at a time (one BitReader call per bit). Build a single peek-and-lookup table indexed by the next max_length bits (<= 15, so <= 64 KiB) and decode a symbol per lookup. ~1.9-2.1x fewer decode instructions on both text and high-entropy input; output identical, corrupt/truncated streams still rejected without panic. Verified: full suite (61 binaries), clippy, fmt clean; lzss ratio preserved and round-trips; 60-case huffman fuzz + 30 corrupt inputs round-trip through our decoder without panic.
