The 6502 instruction set is fairly sparse, and the instructions actually used
are a subset of that; a Huffman encoding based on the frequency of
instructions and data locations in a particular program might get quite a bit
out of it. It would be an interesting project, but I'm afraid I don't have
time to experiment with it right now :-(
