zlib-ng boasts higher throughput than regular zlib, by combining patches
from Cloudflare, zlib, and ARM's improvements to zlib along with a more
modern codebase.
Profiling consistently shows that compression is the largest CPU expense
by far, so even a minor speed-up here is significant.
We now try to work within the boundaries given by the native. In the
case of Java natives, we work with byte arrays. With natives, always use
direct buffers.
However, the numbers do favor the natives, since they work with direct
byte buffers, without any copying. For the most part, this commit is
intended to improve the lives of Velocity users on Windows.
