      It appears you're using the term "compression ratio" to mean "size
      reduction". A compression ratio is the ratio (compressed /
      uncompressed). A 1 kB file compressed with a 10% compression ratio
      would be 0.1 kB. It seems you're using (1 -
      compressed/uncompressed), meaning that the compressed file would
      be 0.9 kB.
