> Compression Level is interpreted by each PMD differently.
> However, lower numbers give faster compression at the expense of
> compression ratio, while higher numbers may give better compression ratios
> but are likely slower.
> The level affects the block size, which affects performance, the bigger the
> block, the faster the compression is.
> 
> The problem was that higher levels caused bigger blocks:
>   size = min_block_size - 1 + level.
> 
> the solution is to reverse the above:
>   size = max_block_size + 1 - level.
