1. I think the author calls DEFLATE an LZW algorithm. It isn't.

2. Has the author looked at Google Snappy? It does 500MB/sec. http://code.google.com/p/snappy/source/browse/trunk/format_d...

There is a pure-C implementation that might be easier to port: https://github.com/zeevt/csnappy

There is already an excellent native port of Snappy to Java: https://github.com/dain/snappy
