I played with this but found the SDK extremely confusing and flat out horrible.  One personal dislike was the
unnecessaryuse of C++; although it was the 
 
horrible API that turned me off.  I'm not even sure if I ever got a test program 
working.

LZO (http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/) is a great algorithm, easy API 
with many variants; my fav is LZO1X-1(15).  Its known for its compresison and 
decompresison speeds ... its blazing fast.  zlib typically gets 5-8% more 
compression.
