#pzlib

Go parallel zlib compression/decompression. This is a fully zlib compatible drop-in replacement for compress/zlib.

This will split compression into blocks that are compressed in parallel. This can be useful for compressing big amounts of data. The output is a standard zlib compressed data.

The zlib decompression is modified so it decompresses ahead of the current reader. This means that reads will be non-blocking if the decompressor can keep ahead of your code reading from it. CRC calculation also takes place in a separate goroutine.

pzlib is an adaptation of klauspost/pgzip for the zlib usecase.
