I agree, but there's a trade-off between compression level and speed,
and it should be up to each user to define what level xe wants to use,
which may differ depending on circumstances (I usually don't compress
when I use broadband, but if I happen to find myself behind a 33k
modem, I'll want full compression).

Exactly.

Does it come with a nice API similar to zlib?
Cheers,
