No, but you can affect the LEVEL of GZIP compression by specifying 
compression=GZIPn where n is 1-9 (1 being the fastest but worst 
compression ratio, 9 being the slowest but best compression ratio).  
According to the manual, the default is 6, so there is some leeway in 
either direction.

Also, from the file 'kernstodo' in the source distribution:

- see lzma401.zip in others directory for new compression algorithm/library.

To me, this implies lzma compression is somewhere on the horizon, though 
you'd probably have to check with Kern himself to know for sure.
