zlib-ng is an optimized zlib library with better performance on most architectures (with contributions from the likes of Google, Cloudflare, and Intel). It is API compatible with zlib. https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng I believe the only platform we don't use the OS's own zlib on is Windows so I'm tagging this issue Windows.
