Stefan Behnel added the comment: FWIW, LZ4HC compression sounds like an obvious choice for write-once-read-many data like .pyc files to me. Blosc shows that you can achieve a pretty major performance improvement just by stuffing more data into less space (although it does it for RAM and CPU cache, not disk). And even if it ends up not being substantially faster for the specific case of .pyc files, there is really no reason why they should take more space on disk than necessary, so it's a sure win in any case.
