It appears that R CMD check now gives a warning if rda files are not saved maximally (or at least in my case I can go from 62MB to 39MB which it says is "significantly better") What is the policy for this, for metadata packages? As Martin Morgan pointed out on R-devel a while back, sometimes it may be better to optimize for loading speed, not size. Assuming that loading speed is much better with gz (not tested though).
In general, smaller is better. If you detect significant performance differences, then that's another story, but otherwise, I suggest doing what the warning says and resaving the data files for maximum size compression. Dan
