I'm over the moon with this series since this drops dozens of
megabytes of scratchpad use while providing tiny speedups along
the way. For me, that's a 10-15% reduction in memory use under
public-inbox-netd w/ mwrap-perl[1] overhead.
This scratchpad use has been bothering me for a long time
(since I fixed all the other leaks, including one in the core
Encode module).
There's more coming, of course, but this series is big enough
and shown good results on https://yhbt.net/lore/
Also, it also provides a good pattern/guidance going forward
on how to efficiently implement future features.
I actually started out in this series trying to buffer
everything using gzip to avoid space-wasting uncompressed
strings living in memory. Unfortunately,
Compress::Raw::Zlib::deflate calls proved too expensive to call
frequently for short strings.
Going back to `.=' ops via a ->zadd method brought back some of
the speed while consolidating the scratchpad to a single place;
but I didn't like the performance regression.
I kept those detours in the history presented here since I
figure it's worth showing
Finally relying on PerlIO::scalar with print|say ops proved to
be the fastest since OO ->method dispatch overhead can be avoided
and there's no scratchpad use at all from these, either.
As before, we still call C:R:Z:deflate after every full message
and flush to the socket periodically.
I may even consider using PerlIO::gzip in the future, but that's
a non-standard module. However, I definitely took inspiration
from it since I saw that it would buffer uncompressed data into
memory before compressing it.
There's also a few small simplifications and speedups I noticed
along the way, and several other bugfixes I posted independently
while working on this series.

This seems like the least disruptive way to allow more use of
->zmore when streaming large messages to sockets.
