	thanks for measurements, it's good to see.
 
	i guess couple of reasons here.
	- because we compress short packets with IPComp, we cannot make a good
	  use of compression history/dictionary.  we always initialize
	  everything on every packet, and it can consume cpu time.
	- zlib buffer management - it has ring buffer management on both
	  in/output ends, because we will see data stream with different sizes.
	- zlib memory management - heavy use of malloc?
