I have implemented both at times, so I can confirm that X.509 parsing is
a bit more complex than decompression (with Deflate). The _compression_
is tougher.
Another point which is worth pointing out is that decompression (again
with Deflate, the algorithm inside gzip) works on repeating sequences in
the past 32 kB window, so reliable implementation requires an up to 32 kB
buffer. This won't make RAM-constrained people happy.
