What sort of compression do the blocks undergo? E.g. does periodicity of the timeseries help reduce the the space of the 64/128bit timestamp? Gorilla[1] style compression would be great, although it'd likely make sub block level range queries tough.

Hello, yes IDs are delta compressed so they use actually just a few bytes per entry (often just 2) instead of 16.
