By default, tarfile library in python do gzip compression at level 9 (ref).
tar
orgzip
cli use compress level 6 by default (ref).Anything above 5 or 6 compression level can take significant resource and time.
Locally, I have cloned 10 frappe apps (430MB) to compress with different gzip level using tarfile.
