I forgot to mention that this modification effectively produces smaller real world files, for instance (…p.gz file produced with modified trees.c):

768771 book1
313594 book1.gz
313593 book1p.gz

100000000 enwik8
 36548933 enwik8.gz
 36548920 enwik8p.gz

In enwik8 28 out of 1290 blocks have been reduced. The gains are limited but cost nearly zero in CPU use.
