If you go with the in-memory compression/decompression odel, you have more flexibility. From the perldoc for the deflateInit call:

-Level Defines the compression level. Valid values are 1 through 9, Z_BEST_SPEED, Z_BEST_COMPRESSION, and Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. The default is -Level =>Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.

So then: 

deflateInit( -Bufsize => 300, 
                 -Level => Z_BEST_SPEED  ) ;

Then IIRC write the buffer to disk.
