			<ul>
			<li>With fixed code compression (<code>fixedCode=true</code>), the tables used for compression (defined as part of RFC 1951) are somewhat optimized for ASCII character data, but they slightly decrease the amount of CPU required to perform compression. Also, since the codes are already defined as part of the specification, they are not included in the compressed data.
			<li>With dynamic compression (<code>fixedCode=false</code>), the compression code tables are generated based on the input data. Dynamic tables typically provide somewhat better compression on most types of data. There is a very slight CPU overhead in computing the frequencies of byte values in the input data. Also, since the code tables are dynamic, they are included as part of the compressed data. This will increase the size of the compressed longstring, but these tables are small, since they are also stored in a compressed form.
			</ul>
			The default value for this argument is <var>False</var> (use dynamic compression).</td></tr>
