Hmmm ... so that's a lot closer to the original 145M, but it still
seems like there's something else going on. It looks like the other
thing we changed that might result in not compressing things was to
increase the third entry (minimum compression rate) from 20% to 25%.
Could you try it with that value also changed back?
