[issue1675951] [gzip] Performance for small reads and fix seek problem

[Florian Festi]

Florian Festi <florianfesti at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

There are no compatibility concerns I am aware of. The new implementation does no longer need a seek()able file. Of course an implemented seek() method won't hurt anyone. The additional tests are only there to point out the problems of the old implementation.

So there is no flag needed to maintain compatibility. The patch just has to be reviewed and then to be applied. If there are any concerns or questions I'll be glad to assist.

Florian
