Here's patch hacked by Vladimir for compression.

Key differences (as far as I see, maybe Vladimir will post more complete list of optimizations):
1. Use functions instead of macro-functions: not surprisingly it's easier to optimize them and provide less constraints for compiler to optimize.
2. More compact hash table: use indexes instead of pointers.
3. More robust segment comparison: like memcmp, but return index of first different byte

In weighted mix of different data (same as for compression), overall speedup is x1.43 on my machine.

Current implementation is integrated into test_pglz suit for benchmarking purposes[0].
