For levels 0 and 1, the heuristic currently chooses exactly one filter based on bit depth:
|
||||||
|
bit depth >= 8 => Bigrams (7)
|
||||||
|
bit depth < 8 => None (0)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since only one filter is enabled by default at these levels, '--fast' is usually a no-op
|
||||||
|
unless you manually enable additional filters, e.g. '-o0 -f 0,7'.

On preset levels 0 and 1 this is typically a no-op, because only one filter is enabled
