You can make it much faster by using a sliced static array as buffer.
Only if you want data corruption! It keeps a copy of your pointer
internally: https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/master/std/zlib.d#L605
It also will always overallocate new buffers on each call

There is no efficient way to use it. The implementation is substandard
because the API limits the design.
iopipe handles this quite well. And deals with the buffers properly
(yes, it is very tricky. You have to ref-count the zstream structure,
because it keeps internal pointers to *itself* as well!). And no, iopipe
doesn't use std.zlib, I use the etc.zlib functions (but I poached some
ideas from std.zlib when writing it).

I even wrote a json parser for iopipe. But it's far from complete. And
probably needs updating since I changed some of the iopipe API.

Depending on the use case, it might be enough, and should be very fast.
