in thread Data compression by 50% + : is it possible?

FWIW I created a Huffman code for 50**2 pairs to improve the compression. (So called "blocking" )

It only saved something like 1% of the average code length, which seems to indicate that the code is already very close to the optimal entropy limit.

See German-WP for theoretical background.
