Currently we're unnecessarily converting data between strings and typed-arrays, when dealing with compressible data, in the
writeStream
function.Note how we're first getting a string-representation of the stream, which involves converting the underlying typed-array into a string, only to immediately convert this back into a typed-array. This seems completely unnecessary, and is easy enough to avoid, and we'll now only do a single type-conversion in this function.
