Zoltan Szabadka 7cde616c9e Faster encoding for low quality settings.
With this commit, the encoder will skip some
compression optimization steps for quality <= 4,
which results in faster compression but higher
compressed sizes.

brotli

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.

The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
