Edit: Results with zlib-ng and a newer version of the Cloudflare changes: https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2015-06-05-updated-zlib-benchmarks/ https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2015-06-05-updated-zli... Original: Here are some benchmarks of the Intel and Cloudflare forks that this project is based on: https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2014-08-04-comparison-of-intel-and-cloudflare-zlib-patches.html https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2014-08-04-comparison-... The speedups are not insignificant. (I'll see about updating the post to include results for zlib-ng).

As I mentioned in another comment, the minigzip used is very suboptimal due to reading and decompressing only 1 byte per inflate() call. Please retest with --zlib-compat or the fix that was merged today.

  Sure thing, updated. I'm not in the habit of including compression level 6 in the results, since the application I care about defaults to 5 :) And I wanted a good spread of different compression levels in the results.

Btw, I always wondered.. Why didn't you test compression level 6, it is the default level, and used by for example stock apache/nginx settings. Also #zlib-ng on freenode if you or anyone else want to discuss.
