Is that copy required?
On x86, IMHO it isn't. On other platforms, I'm not sure. Pointer alignment?
As far as I know, the buffer handed to "uncompress()" isn't required to be aligned - it's just a sequence of bytes.
Byte ordering?
It's just a sequence of bytes, so that shouldn't matter - and copying it wouldn't help in any case.
Are the tvb guaranteed to be contiguous?
"tvb_get_ptr()" returns a pointer to a contiguous chunk of data with the specified length.
