See it in action at Krill's Loader, repository version 146 - Doynamite: The new gold standard for demo file compression :)

@Oswald: I tried out saving cycles in the copy loops, and indeed it turned out to perform slower due to too much overhead. But feel free to try on your own :-) Also it will bloat the code further, but usually one wants to waste as few as possible bytes for a depacker and loader.

@ Oswald:
Certainly. The match/literal innerloops may even be unrolled.

Unfortunately the average match length/literal run is rather short. Typically 3-6 bytes though YMMV, especially for highly compressible files (the --statistics flag comes in handy here.) Basically I judged it wouldn't be worth it in terms of set-up cycles and bytes.

It's the bit fiddling, e.g. decoding run lengths and match offsets, which eats the bulk of the cycles.

there are many aspects I'm not looking at when saying this but cant copy loops be constructed like:

lda src,y
sta dst,y
dey
bne -

if the loop have long enough runs it's probably worth the lengthyer setup. probably not the case just wondering.
