Compression of large objects is also a good idea, but I'm not sure how
it would be implemented, or how it would affect reads/writes (you
can't really seek with zlib, which is what I would use).

Look at lzo realtime compression utility at:

It is extremly fast. I have to support first class Austrian technology ;-)
