I was using the MNIST dataset and the original file was a uint8, but the output decompressed file was in float32, so it was much larger.
I've added a way to specify the data type of the decompressed file, a bonus is that by limiting the maximum and minimum values of this image, it also slightly increases performance. This is done by adding c.dtype = "foo" to the config file, where np.foo is a valid data type. If nothing is added then it will work as previously.
