Can somebody test the binary that ships with Mac OS X and iOS? I'm asking because the GitHub page says
"This is a reference C implementation of the LZFSE compressor introduced in the Compression library with OS X 10.11 and iOS 9."
My guess is that the versions on Mac OS X and iOS are different, and aren't even written in C (they might have started as C programs, but would have been hand-optimized later)
