[bitcoin-dev] further test results for : "Datastream Compression of Blocks and Tx's"

[Jonathan Toomim]

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.
