1		cube										All compressions performed on a dual quad-core 2.5GHz Xeon machine running Debian wheezy.
2										Size		All three programs (gzip, bzip2, and h5cube) were run in serial (1 CPU only)
3	ORCA Win original									224,000,887		Timings performed with bash 'time'
4	After lossless comp/decomp					-m thresh on min/max				205,771,704		CUBE is of the electron density of benzene, 250x250x250 voxels (15,625,000 data points)
5						-i thresh on isovalue/ratio						Values in bold italics are non-default values (default is no thresholding)
6				-a ABS threshold								Python 3.5.1, h5py 2.6.0, numpy 1.11.2, six 1.10.0, hdf5 1.8.8-9+b1, Cython 0.25.2
