Since you're only putting a value in the history every 4 bytes, you
wouldn't need to calculate the hash in a rolling fashion. You could just
take next four bytes, calculate hash, put it in history table. Then next
four bytes, calculate hash, and so on. Might save some cycles when
building the history table...
