The problem I have with using software compression is that it adds

Amanda run the gzip ones to get the output size before running gzip
again when performing the actual dump?
Strange, because during the estimate phase, software compression is not
used. Amanda keeps a history of compression ratios, and guesses the
compression ratio for that run from that history. (See also the
"comprate" parameter in amanda.conf.)
What makes you believe in thinking software compression makes estimate slow?
