Description
We build and distribute our own zlib library.
We're currently using the canonical zlib library available from zlib.net.
zlib-ng (https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng) has various optimizations for zlib that can realize >10% perf wins while maintaining API compatibility. API compatibility means that zlib-ng should _just work_.
I reckon we could safely compile against and distribute zlib-ng so end-users automagically see significant performance wins.
