By chrisdickinson:

This should ideally be a config option (defaulting to enabled); the issue with running zlib in the main event loop is that as soon as it hits a large stream, it's going to block the browser's event loop for however long it takes to deflate the stream (which, at least last time i tested it, means that you'll occasionally get those lovely "page is unresponsive: kill it?" prompts).

On node.js >=0.6, we should default to the built-in zlib module.
