the size of the zstd file.  However, when I compared it to lzma and xz, the
results weren't so spectacular.  For this particular test case, lzma did
better followed by xz and then zstd.  The difference between all of three
of them was within 2K.  I used zstd -19 when compressing.

Would be curious if anyone else has any interesting results working with
zstd compression/decompression.
