One of the main differences is this one uses lookup tables for faster decoding of Huffman compressed data as opposed to using a tree (which is what the stdlib one uses). It also offers some additional encoding options for users that want more control of header field indexing.

Yes, let's get your version into Go if it's better.

(I wrote Go's quickly. I've never profiled it, delaying that until Go 1.7, which opened for development yesterday)

If I'd like to get some of the enhancements in there, is this the route to go? https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Yup! That documentation is too daunting IMO but it's complete and not many steps, despite all the words. Especially if you're a Go programmer already. (just go get the code review tool)

I'd start with filing a bug against Go to track the overall process.

This is why I love open source projects, and shows just how open source Go is.

Fantastic.

Why not contribute it to the Go projet, if this version is arguably better than the current implementation?
