Walter's PR slows down the compilation with 25-40% according to my tests. I expect that compilation would be faster if the whole process is skipped altogether.
The compressor only kicks in if the string is longer than 64 bytes. I set it pretty low in order to have it kick in often, and hopefully flush out any bugs in it.
For a production version, the minimum size should be set substantially larger, based on testing to provide a reasonable balance.
That should speed it up a lot. Also, the algorithm is a bit naively implemented, I bet it could be speeded up substantially.
Hashing isn't algorithmically cheap, either.
