What's the fastest way to compress/decompress text?
We're doing that over really large datasets in our app. We're currently
converting char arrays to byte arrays using our own UTF-8 conversion
code, and then compressing the bytes using java.util.zip. The code is
pretty old.
I don't like this two-step process, and the profiler shows that this is
a bottleneck in our app.
Is anyone aware of any code that compresses chars directly? Perhaps a
third-party library that does it faster?
In our particular situation, decompression speed is a lot more important
than compression speed.
