That's not surprising.

Mad Mad is compressed using level 1, by default pzlib is level 6, or rather reflate, the moment you place raw2hif_dll.dll, you are disabling internal recompression, so this is what you will get.

ZLibv3:c256m+srep+Lzma2 6.4 GB
because level 6 was used, you didn't set reflating level, which is the -r# option.
Secondly, the option -x, enables both internal recompression to work with reflate. which is why 4.26GB is the best size because unlike reflate, internal recompression works like precomp, trial and error, it will try all levels and pick one that is best.

@Everyone
pzlib does work without raw2hif_dll.dll, only place the library if you know what it does, or how it works or how it is used else you'll just end up with negative ratios.
