[Zlib-devel] Optimizations needed for gzgets() (Zlib version 1.2.3)

[Scott_Riley at amat.com]

Thank you Mark for your quick response!

My customer is currently using files that have already been compressed with
gzip and our application just decompresses those files. What are their
options for reducing decompression time?

Is there another library that will decompress these gzip compressed files
faster than Zlib or do they need to uncompress the files and then use the
compression and decompression routines from another library such as Lzop?

Regards,
Scott

Scott,

I plan to replace the gz* functions entirely in the next beta version.
Stay tuned and try out the new version to see if that helps.

There are faster decompressors, at the price of lower compression.  Look at
