zlib-ng

zlib replacement with optimizations for "next generation" systems.

Project mention: Show HN: Pzip- blazing fast concurrent zip archiver and extractor | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-24

Please note that allowing for 2% bigger resulting file could mean huge speedup in these circumstances even with the same compression routines, seeing these benchmarks of zlib and zlib-ng for different compression levels:
https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/discussions/871
IMO the fair comparison of the real speed improvement brought by a new program is only between the almost identical resulting compressed sizes.
