Since minigzip doesn't have a -t option and gzip doesn't use zlib, I
redid my final test without it for comparison:

So -t is actually a teeny bit slower.  But the new ung.c is definitely
faster; there's an 18% reduction in page faults and an overall wallclock
improvement of 22% over the stock 1.1.4 minigzip.

comp.compression, png-implement, info-zip, libtiff.org, apache.org, possibly
freshmeat.net...depends how wide you want it to be.

One big wishlist item for a near-future zlib beta, however:  a better
configure script.  The current one blows big-time; I detest being unable
to compile both static and shared versions without overwriting everything
in a second configure-compile-link cycle.  I know this is Jean-loup's baby,
but if you're feeling industrious, perhaps you could adapt the appended
Makefile (for Linux) to be the new Makefile.in (and hack configure to
support simultaneous -static and -shared options).  There are subtleties
to doing shared libraries on some systems, but that's irrelevant to this;
whatever old zlib's configure did should continue to work.  The only real
trickery is using .pic.o as a secondary suffix for object files, but I
think .SUFFIXES is relatively well-supported across makes.

Thanks,
  Greg
