Feature request: Shared context about fflate HOT 6 CLOSED

I have a pretty good solution in mind for compression streams, but decompression may be a bit sketchy. I'll add this after ZIP support

from fflate.

Update, I've added support for synchronous duplex inflate streams, which I know is by far the hardest part. Performance could be better, so I'll work on that before adding asynchronous streams, deflate streams (very simple), and pushing the changes.

This would require a rewrite of a lot of the core functionality, so I'm not sure how feasible getting this done will be. However, I'll see what I can do.

After looking into this some more, there are two problems with this suggestion:

1. The output is still stored in full in memory. Any memory savings are lost as a result.
2. The synchronous access to the result means the decompression must be synchronous, losing any performance benefits.

However, I do plan to implement an asynchronous duplex-stream version of this.

from fflate.

Fixed performance! Main culprit was the new error-checking taking extra time, but instead of removing it I just optimized some other areas. I've also added synchronous deflate streams. I'm going to finish up by fixing the workers (i.e. adding async streams) and everything should be fine from there.

This issue is now fixed as of 575f8d6. Thanks for the feature request!
