No, it isn't. I did benchmarks before importing the NetBSD version into DragonFly two years ago and gzip was *always* slower. zlib 1.2 added quite a number of performance improvements as well, so it shouldn't be the problem. I have no idea why it is that slow on FreeBSD -- I don't think the slightly older version we have in DragonFly 1.6 is the origin. The programs I run were from memory as well.
