Given that the compression unit of 2K will be compressed to (on average) ~1.5K,
it's fairly irrelevant if the offset is stored in 2, 4, or 3 bytes.
Also: in the published results for TAMP, does TAMP always start fresh for the 2K unit, or does it keep the previous compression engine state?
For the discussed purpose, the compressor would need a reset for each 2K unit.
I read the TAMP instructions, but it wasn't clear to me.
