/**
* An {@link OutputStream} that compresses data using the Deflate algorithm. It extends {@link DeflaterOutputStream} and
* provides statistics about the compression process. It uses a {@link #DEFAULT_COMPRESSION_LEVEL default compression
* level of 1} (instead of 6), as this class's main intended use case is for compressing data for sending many unique
* packets over the network, where low time and CPU usage is much more important than additional unimpressive size
* reductions.
*
* Notice for usage within Mats3: It doesn't seem like the Jackson library uses single-byte output at all, but rather
* internally buffers and performs its writes in chunks of close up to, and including, 8000 bytes. This alleviates the
* need to use a BufferedOutputStream on top of this DeflaterOutputStreamWithStats.
*
* Thread-safety: This class is not thread-safe.

/**
* The compression level to use when compressing data. Based on some performance tests (look in the
* 'Test_SerializationPerformance' class), using synthetic JSON data, the size reductions diminishes very fast,
* while the CPU and time usage increases substantially. Of note, there seems to be an inflection point at level 3:
* At higher levels, the time used goes up rather fast, while the size reduction is minimal. But even then, the time
* used at level 3 is quite a bit higher for larger data sets: 205MB "random JSON" down to 60MB in 2.2 sec for level
* 1, compared to 5.4 seconds for 50MB at level 3. We thus set the default to 1, as time (and CPU use) is much more
* important than size reduction.
*
* (Note that when using "DEFAULT_COMPRESSION = -1", the default level for Zlib is 6, and this checks out when
* comparing the timings and sizes from the tests - they are the same as with explicit 6.)
