    a typical (full subtitle) .srt file for a movie is like 100-200 kb - still not much, but 5 is a little off

      If it’s all text, it’d compress quite well, especially since there’s likely lots of repeated words. Not to 5kb of course, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it had at least a 3x compression ratio with zstd.
