Well have run some compressed files though the algorithm and it seems that very little gains are achievable when the file size gets larger. It makes sense in retrospect... as a file gets larger, the symbol size necessary gets larger, however the total number of possible symbols for a given symbol size increases by a power of 2 for each size increment. This means that for every symbol read and removed from the set of possible symbols, the bits necessary to encode a symbol reduces by a minuscule amount. The total saving at the end is less than one bit.
