Description
Currently the decoder only considers subtracting single blocks from packets. It could potentially be optimized to perform subtractions across packets that have similar blocks to produce virtual packets that can more quickly be reduced to single blocks.

Research direction
Start by locating the decoder and tracing the current logic that subtracts single blocks from packets. Investigate how packets with similar blocks could be combined into virtual packets, then define benchmarks or decoder cases that show whether intersection-based reduction is faster while preserving correctness.
