Alright, I've done some proper testing.

I encoded 105 seconds of 8 bit PCM audio.

Flac got a ratio of .240 on -0 (least compression) and a ratio of .230 on -8
(most compression)

The algorithm got a ratio of "2.7446", which is 0.36 if you convert it to
the way flac measures. (take the inverse).

So flac does better in terms of absolute compression, ignoring any
performance measures.
