Summary
Replace
compress/gzipandcompress/flatewithgithub.com/klauspost/compressin the compress filter. Drop-in API-compatible replacement with significantly better CPU performance.Scoped to the compress filter only — decompress, routesrv, and OIDC cookie compression can follow up separately.
Motivation
Profiling shows 30% CPU spent in
compress/flateon high-traffic clusters (#3932).Benchmark results (Apple M2 Max, 6 samples)
Default level (BestSpeed — production path)
JSON payload (compressible, realistic)
Deflate-only
Higher compression level (level 6)
Memory allocation nearly identical. Brotli unchanged (separate library).
Closes #3932
