Interesting approach, I wonder how this could be used as a classifier. :)

  I've used LZO as a spam classifier on chat. Spam tends to be very content-less and repetitive...

  Check out "Text classification with Python 3.14's zstd module" (<a href="https://maxhalford.github.io/blog/text-classification-zstd/" rel="nofollow">https://maxhalford.github.io/blog/text-classification-zstd/, <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46942864">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46942864). I wanted to link it somewhere in the comments. :-)
