I'd say this really depends on what you do. For what I do (eg: OpenStack
packages), I don't see how 65MB could be a problem. I do compress with
-z9, and have no intention to change this, because it makes sense for
these packages, where the bottleneck for large deployments will more be
the network transfers than uncompressing on each individual nodes.
