Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #3891, comment 9

initial	v1
1		Notice that while the command-line gzip compression too 5.4 seconds, the gzip session compression in ChimeraX took 14 seconds (= 22.51 - 8.36). Not clear why the Python gzip is slower. Possibly gzip uses multiple threads when compressing a file but only a single thread when compressing a stream. Or maybe compression level or thread uses defaults are different between the command-line gzip and ChimeraX use of Python GzipFile(). At any rate, the command-line timings don't necessarily reflect speed of ChimeraX doing the compression so I will need to test the compression methods in ChimeraX on the stream.
