Jon, go away.
Go and _look_ at those damn numbers you tried to point me to.
Those "better" compression models you pointed at are not only hundreds of
times slower than zlib, they take hundreds of times more memory too!
Yes, size and speed are definitely not unrelated. And in this situation,
when it comes to compression algorithms, the relationship is _very_ clear:
- better compression takes more memory and is slower
Really. You're trying to argue for something, but you don't seem to
realize that you argue _against_ the thing you think you are arguing for.
