Don't know about ext4 but for portage trees I found ext2 to be faster than everything else I tried (primarily reiserfs3.6). Have you taken a look at XFS or JFS? Concerning online compression I can only think of cramfs (which is read-only) or NTFS (do they support compression by now? I know that I can format a partition and set it to compressed but I've not tried it.)
