How to calculate Huffman code length without generating the actual huffman code?
You can count the distribution of frequency of the alphabet you want to Huffman encode.
If this distribution is skewed Huffman encoding will perform poorly.
See: When would the worst case for Huffman …

When would the worst case for Huffman coding occur?
According to NIST:
The worst case for Huffman coding (or, equivalently, the longest Huffman coding for a set of characters) is when the distribution of frequencies follows the Fibonacci numbers. For …
