gzip is an antiquated compression algorithm, and produces poor results in terms of size/speed.
Describe the primary solution
Consider supporting zstd. At lower compression levels it is extremely fast while still compressing well, and at higher compression levels, it compresses almost as well as xz, while being much faster.
Describe alternative solutions, if any
Another idea to further improve compression: allow a full backup of all apps to be compressed in a single tarball.
Screenshots
If you're willing to add demonstrative screenshots, you're welcome to do so.
