It provides a decent balance for compression and is a critical part of several document formats. I've used inflate for things like opening zip files, docx, pdf content, and deflate for creating PNG (other than the supported 32bit per pixel). We could get compress working before multiplex support gets worked into WebSockets, and not have to worry that much about multiplex and streaming, since it can be added into binary websocket packet with relative ease. Inflate and deflate really are critical components for web apps. Their absence is a barrier for authors like me to support common file format.s -Charles
