In your list of big htmls, five tickle my check even in its present
state, and seem to be real problems, though at most medium badness.

    fp-docs-2.6.4           IDE screenshots
    libgcj-doc              graphics drawing diagrams
    libboost1.55-doc        inline maths images, and icons
    vtk6-doc                inline maths images
    pike7.8-reference       a filename typo

But strewth I can't try that one, it's massive.  900mbyte deb,
1.5G unpacked!  How does it fit on the dist cdroms? :-)

Incidentally for performance perhaps you've thought about mmap to slurp
(non-gzipped content).  I've had some joy from File::Map (not in debian
currently).

The only disadvantage I've noticed is mmap reads seem higher kernel
priority then plain reads, or something, making them apparently get
ahead of other processes a bit.
