Subclassing InputStream without overriding the multi-byte read() method is a 
recipe for disaster... the inherited method does a byte-by-byte read. You can 
see what's happening in this hprof trace:

        java.util.zip.Inflater.inflateBytes(Inflater.java:Unknown line)
        java.util.zip.Inflater.inflate(Inflater.java:259)
        java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(InflaterInputStream.java:152)
        java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream.read(GZIPInputStream.java:116)
        java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(InflaterInputStream.java:122)
        
org.apache.http.client.entity.LazyDecompressingInputStream.read(LazyDecompressingInputStream.java:56)
        java.io.InputStream.read(InputStream.java:179)
        
it.unimi.di.law.warc.util.InspectableCachedHttpEntity.copyContent(InspectableCachedHttpEntity.java:67)

copyContent() would love to read(byte[],int,int) in a buffer, but since 
LazyDecompressingInputStream doesn't override it it invokes instead the 
read-byte-by-byte inherited method in InputStream, which in turn now calls for 
each byte the one-byte read() method from LazyDecompressingInputStream, which 
invokes the one-byte read method from InflaterInputStream, which does a 
multi-byte, length-one read from GZIPInputStream, which unleashes a similar 
call on InflaterInputStream, which unfortunately makes a similar read using the 
native inflateBytes() method. 

The result is a 10-50x decrease in speed, but I think that a trivial override 
of read(byte[],int,int) in LazyDecompressingInputStream will solve the problem.

Ciao,
