This is both fascinating and slightly depressing, just when I think I'm starting to understand the basics of these algorithms, I realise I'm yet to even scratch the surface.

Damn I hadn't considered the architecture differences. I suppose though it shouldn't be too hard to determine if a mainstream compression algorithim is being used, through trial and error, should a universal methodology for LZ4 pre-compression be developed (which from the sounds of things would be no easy feat).
