zlib: use more memory for a small deflate speedup.

The LIT_MEM option uses slightly more memory (for base gzip(1),
about 16kiB; according to the author, about 6% for default deflate
settings) for a small speedup.

The performance gain is more noticeable for input data with higher
entropy and less significant for data that is highly compressible,
such as source code and logs.
