Since the compression method sounds similar to ffv1, lets see how they compare.

My benchmarks on a random chapter of a random DVD I had on hand (Ghost in the Shell 2; mostly CG, cropped but not filtered)
YUY2 (because that's what all these codecs have in common), 704x384, 2000 frames
There were no duplicate frames in this clip, so that feature of lagarith wasn't tested. But note that MEncoder has a similar duplicate frame remover that can be applied to any codec, so ffv1, ffvhuff, and ljpeg would benefit the same amount.
This is just one source; YMMV.
Code:
  Codec           Bitrate   Enc fps   Dec fps 
raw:              103705
huffyuv 2.1.1:     31524     93.41     71.61
ljpeg:             28965     44.85     45.63
huffyuv ccesp:     28170     96.48     72.54
ffvhuff:           24308     86.81     70.42
lagarith:          23242     41.08     29.88
ffv1(cavlc):       19756     27.99     26.31
msu:               17676      0.83     10.63
ffv1(range coder): 17221     23.23     25.77
