Quantized Indexing is a new entropy coding algorithm
based on enumerative combinatorics of symbol sequences.
It codes "typically" 10-20 times faster (over 200
times in low entropy limit, and over 6 times in high
entropy limit) than the fastest arithmetic coders,
while compressing tighter for all input ranges.
The Quantized Indexing web page:
http://www.1stWorks.com/ref/qi.htm
contains several preprints describing the algorithm and
the source code for the algorithm researchers. A recent
thread here has more discussion & links about the algorithm:
