I think the bikeshedding -- or more to the point, the fact that there's a wide variety of options for compressing pickles, and none of them are appropriate in all circumstances -- means that this is something that should remain a separate layer. Even super-fast algorithms like lz4 are inefficient when you're transmitting pickles between two processes on the same system – they still add extra memory copies. And that's a very common use case. -n -- Nathaniel J.
