David Hows 05b3178ca4 Zlib gets a 50-60% performance win when compiled with -O2 (#5838)
Chasing a performance regression has lead me to this change, going from default optimization gives a significant performance win. The sweet spot for zlib is apparently `-O2`, both `-Ofast` and `-O3` are slightly worse (regression is about 3% compared with `-O2) in my testing. 

Happy to share my methodology with people so we can benchmark on a wider variety of systems.
