Nope, sorry.  Gzip is a streaming compressor.

And in general, GPUs aren't as memory limited as you are thinking.  The typical highish end video card that we use has more memory on it than a generic server from a couple of years ago.  Any change that makes hashing memory intensive enough to stop GPU mining will kill the network by forcing nodes to drop out.

+1 and +1
