When I'm looking for a compression algorithm to speeds stuff up, I
typically go with LZO. While its not very standard, its nearly as fast
as a memcpy and it works in a very small memory footprint. Even from
reading from a fast hard disk (40MB/s+), you can get better performance
if you store your data in LZO format and decompress as you read.

There is also a minilzo library that can do basic compression and
decompression in a single pair of .c & .h files, so its very small.
This is the library I usually use for getting performance gains over
doing raw IO.
