I played with this but found the SDK extremely confusing and flat out horrible.
One personal dislike was the unnecessary use of C++; although it was the
horrible API that turned me off. I'm not even sure if I ever got a test program
working.
LZO (http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/) is a great algorithm, easy API
with many variants; my fav is LZO1X-1(15). Its known for its compresison and
decompresison speeds ... its blazing fast. zlib typically gets 5-8% more
compression.
