[electrum] storage: speed up write() by using faster compression setting
Summary:
Original commit message:
Re total runtime of WalletDB.write() and file size on disk,
for a large encrypted wallet, compare:before (zlib level=6):
file size 16_670 KB
JsonDB.dump 0.5099 sec
zlib.compress 1.3280 sec
ECPubkey.encrypt_message 0.1720 secafter change (zlib level=1):
file size 17_527 KB
JsonDB.dump 0.5344 sec
zlib.compress 0.5320 sec
ECPubkey.encrypt_message 0.1837 sec
My own test confirms the gain in speed when writing an encrypted wallet file to disk.
Before:
file size: 959K

After:
file size: 1018K (6% increase)
