It seems unlikely to me that this is a substantial bottleneck.
Gzip is ok, but many packages these days use xz -9 --extreme deb options which is not fast at all on my pandaboard nor on my cloud instances with capped CPU & memory. Using such compression is good for release debs, but not in developer testing. It wastes developer's time.
