    I used it in a few microcontroller projects, let me get away with the cheaper 8 bit microcontroller with 64K of flash. The streaming decoding is real nice, because it can be read from flash and sent of to a display, without ever keeping it in ram. (4K!)

          It depends on volume. When you build 100 parts not really. But when you build millions it becomes worth it.

          In automotive they fight over every cent.
