This ditches the
async_compressionrate for a custom implementation usingzlib-rs.Benchmarks
At 500 sustained concurrent requests:
The existing implementation peaks at
362Mmemory usage.This branch's implementation (with level 9, window bits 11, and memory level 3), peaks at
164Mmemory usage.The resulting compression ratio is only slight worse (less than
10%), while memory is reduced by55%!
