Fixes #42879
(My first PR to rust-lang yay)
This changes the compression settings back to how they were before the change to use the flate2 crate rather than the in-tree flate library. The specific changes are to use the
Fast
compression level (which should be equivialent to what was used before), and use a raw deflate stream rather than wrapping the stream in a zlib wrapper. The zlib wrapper adds an extra 2 bytes of header data, and 4 bytes for a checksum at the end. The change to use a faster compression level did give some compile speedups in the past (see #37298). Having to calculate a checksum also added a small overhead, which didn't exist before the change to flate2.r? @alexcrichton
