Some further tests show clearly why this is the case:
| gzip -c data.tar > /dev/null 6.51s user 0.04s system 99% cpu 6.548 total
| gzip -9c data.tar > /dev/null 61.46s user 0.08s system 99% cpu 1:01.54 total
dpkg-deb defaults to -9 for gzip. This mode takes ten times. This all
for an negligible advantage of 1% smaller package.
