zlib-ng also has adler32 implementations optimized for various architectures: https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng

Might be interesting to benchmark their implementation too to see how it compares.

There are already active zlib forks (e.g. https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng), the problem is with having people move to them. It takes a lot of effort to move mindshare from the original version to a fork, there's some historical examples of it happening, but not a ton.
