Performance

  • fqxv compress --estimate is now 15–60× faster — always subsecond on a
    block-sized sample. It predicts the archive from the sample's measured entropy
    (what the real entropy coders converge to) instead of coding it: static order-k
    sequence entropy, a k-mer duplication sketch that captures long-read cross-read
    redundancy, order-1 quality entropy, and the real tokenizer for names — each
    scaled by a small per-platform calibration factor. The measurement passes run in
    parallel across read chunks, and the sample is capped by read count for short
    reads and by one block of bases for long reads (so the sketch sees a real block's
    coverage). Predicted archive size stays within ~1% of the previous coding-based
    estimate across Illumina, PacBio HiFi, and Nanopore.
