This bug may require changes to the pure-zlib library, hence the "medium."
Right now, I believe there's still a memory spike every time the node downloads a consensus or directory document from a server, because it downloads the whole file, decompresses it, and then parses it. It would be very handy if we could instead pull down a chunk, and feed it through all three bits at the same time.
