> Compression Level is interpreted by each PMD differently.
> However, lower numbers give faster compression

> The level affects the block size, which affects performance,
> the bigger the block, the faster the compression is.

> The problem was that higher levels caused bigger blocks:
>   size = min_block_size - 1 + level.
> 
> the solution is to reverse the above:
>   size = max_block_size + 1 - level.
