A fair point.

Prompted me to check if the higher zstd levels worked any better on my 84MB fake social graph - nope - and then if LZMA was any good - yes, `lzma` at 5 or higher on the raw JSON beats `jcof | lzma` by ~2M every time. `lzma -4` beats it by ~400k.

If I sort my object keys (a la `jq -S`), `lzma` beats `jcof|lzma` at every level (`gzip` never gets close, `zstd` gets closer.)

EDIT: Nope, I was wrong, I was doing `lzma` against `jcof|zstd`. `jcof|lzma` is still sneaking ~1M below `lzma` at all levels.
