I guess it would be possible, yes.

It'd need be callable from C though, either via an API exposed
by laz-perf directly or by custom adapter.
That might defeat the "remove virtuals overhead" goal.

Do you have tools in PDAL to compare compression/decompression speed
and compressed format size between the various supported schemes here ?
