Meanwhile I had a quick look at the code: gzip uses some optimized assembler code ... Maybe that's the reason why gzip is noticeably faster.
Anyone care to try this test on PPC, ARM, or Sparc? There's a move afoot to replace the GPL gzip with a more openly-licensed gzip implemented on top of libz. I wonder if the libz implementors have similar assembly optimizations that we should be using?
