[poppler] [PATCH] reimplement FlateStream using zlib

[Albert Astals Cid]

Ok, i've run callgrind on it and i get 

with zlib    128,160,140,663
without zlib 130,195,587,576

so the zlib patch does less work, good :-) 

BUT i've found a problem, running the benchmark on PDFReference16 with the 
zlib patch i get 

$ ./benchmark /home/albert/benchmark/PDFReference16.pdf
document title: PDF Reference, version 1.6

rendering page 1074 / 1236Error: Unimplemented shading type 6
Error: Unimplemented shading type 6
rendering page 1236 / 1236Error: Leftover args in content stream

while using the poppler native code i only get the Errors about Unimplemented 
shading type 6 but do not get the error about Leftover args in content 
stream.
