I do wonder about compilation speed for C++ code. Barring some other innovative approach, even with a slow down, which I'd hate, I think this may be the best approach.

Thanks for addressing this.

How about a variable size - huffman encode the most frequent codes in to one byte, relegate the less frequent to two bytes.
