If precomp makes the result smaller than input, then do not expect results. I set precomp 0.38 as default for a reason, it does the job perfectly, the output is always bigger than input, unlike the new precomps (041, 042, 043). Precomp 043 will not work just like that, it's complicated, that's why it isn't added on most of my programs, you have to update cls-precomp.dll, you have to inject dll or something like that to make it work, another problem, you don't just use precomp for all files, check the readme or use trial and error because sometimes the final results are even better when you didn't use precomp.
Here's proof:

Input was 10mb.
Precomp038 made it 27mb
Precomp040 made it 27mb
Precomp041 made it 3.3mb
Precomp042 made it 3.3mb
Precomp043 made it 3.3mb

I used a strong compressor from the work of precomp, I used 7-Zip Solid LZMA2.
For precomp038 27mb became 2.5mb
For precomp040 27mb became 2.5mb
For precomp041 3.3mb became 3.3mb
For precomp042 3.3mb became 3.3mb
For precomp043 3.3mb became 3.3mb

That's really interesting, thx to your explanation I now understand how it really work
