- Depends on the data rate. Clark Thomborson gave some figures in an
- article in IEEE Micro (Oct '92 issue, pages 41-53, "The V.42bis Standard
- for Data-Compressing Modems") My interpretation of his article would
- indicate that you should get ~10kbyte/s from a 68k with some tuning and
- maybe 100kbyte/s from something like a i80960SA (an educated guess though)

- The above article compares V.42bis of different dictionary sizes and a
- number of other compression schemes for compression ratio. He also discusses
- the storage requirements and execution rates in the text but does not provide
- them in detail.

-
- Clark's article suggest some require 100s of kbytes but some also only
- need <10kbytes.
