I personally would never touch these original tools. Instead I would replace them by xz wherever its possible. - xz -1 is much better than gzip and almost as fast
xz needs a lot more CPU time than libz. xz -1 gives 15% better compression than libz -4 but it takes 2.5x more CPU time. xz is a good tool for compressing source tar archives for download servers but if you like the best compression ratio per CPU cycle, libz is a better choice.
