We need numbers for all compression algorithms for the code that would
actually be compressed, not the whole image, which includes the
multiboot header, the lzo uncompression implementation and some other
functions.

Anyway, it looks like gzip is doing a good job.  By the way, gzip
uncompression is used in Linux kernel on i386.
