I think maybe matching the compression speed with the network speed is what you want to do.

In a place with ubiquitous fast broadband, a compromise with regard to decompression speed might be ok.

If you're sending something to mars... 2 kb/sec might make sense.

Keep in mind that 2KB/s is on something like 3090... Massively power hungry even on the decompression.

You might be interested: Zstandard has an adaptive mode that attempts to do this.
