Using a larger window helps too. It of course has a direct impact on
the processing to perform a full repack, but it has no runtime costs
when the pack is used. So I'd suggest adding --window=50 to the above.
[ I made those suggestions in person to Thomas at OLS to which
he replied he'd do it when he'd get back home. ;-) ]
