Update (18 Sept 2015): Level 1 compression has been updated to a faster version, so the difference…

Go gzip/deflate benchmarks

As a continuation of my release of a Optimized gzip/zip packages. I have done some informal benchmarks to get an impression of performance characteristics of the various libraries. I have compiled the results in a spreadsheet you can view yourself. Update (18 Sept 2015): Level 1 compression has been updated to a faster version, so the difference to…
