Hi Grizzly developers!

Noemax would like to contribute an LZF compression filter to Grizzly.

The key characteristics of the LZF algorithm are its simplicity and speed. Compared to GZIP it is much faster so it is the best choice when you want to minimize the processing cost of compression. Compression ratios are lower than GZIP's but excellent considering the performance of LZF.

LZF works nicely with both text XML and Fast Infoset.

We have tested the interoperability of the C# and Java implementations so LZF can be used to compress messages when communicating with .NET, CF, Silverlight or Azure. On the .NET side LZF is available as one of the compression algorithms supported by WCF-Xtensions (the others being GZIP/DEFLATE, LZF3 and LZMA).

Hope you find this contribution useful!
