Also, you should call Close() in GZipStream, both when compressing and
decompressing. There's one unmanaged for each stream that is not freed until
you call Close or the GC disposes the stream.

Given the code that you have, if you want to "reuse" the MemoryStream and still
be able to call Close() on the GZipStream, I would do something like:

       compressStream.Flush ();
       MemoryStream gzinput = new MemoryStream (saveStream.GetBuffer (), 0,
saveStream.Length);
       compressStream.Close ();
       BinaryFormatter reader = new BinaryFormatter();
       var compressedStream = new GZipStream(gzinput,
CompressionMode.Decompress );
.........
