Description

It would be nice to run some real benchmarks on using pgzip to evaluate whether it would be worth considering using in the various actool code (aci/file, actool/build, actool/validate)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Set up Go benchmarks comparing gzip and pgzip on sample ACI files. Measure compression speed, ratio, and CPU/memory usage. Analyze the results to determine if pgzip is worth integrating into actool code paths.
