A comment on AWS switch from gzip to zstd – about 30% reduction in compressed S3 storage. Parent comment
This puts a serious limitation on your compression. You would only be able to re-do the entropy coding part of DEFLATE, which is actually pretty good.
You would still need to store the original Huffman tables for each block, so you can reconstruct the entropy coding exactly.
I doubt this would even gain you a single percentage.
