This PR amends the
serializeStorage
anddeserializeStorage
to apply gzip compression to the serialized PCD string. By pre-compressing the string, we reduce the size of the plaintext sync blob. This is helpful as compression cannot be applied after the blob has been encrypted.Testing with pseudo-random data indicates a reduction of 50% in the size of the PCD collection string. We might hope to see better real-world performance as real data will have more repetition (of names, email addresses, public keys, and so on).
