Details

The git repo tarballs that searchfox puts in the searchfox.repositories S3 bucket are uncompressed (i.e. they are .tar files, not .tar.gz or whatever). It might be worth compressing them, see Andrew's preliminary investigation at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1463888#c11 for some details.

When I added wubkat in bug 1771804 I had it use lz4 and this seems to work fine but I didn't do an A/B test on performance. Note that the rebuild-blame mechanism assumes no compression is used and so rebuild-blame currently isn't fine with a piecemeal transition.
