not sure if this is representative, but naively compression all *.ko of
the /lib/modules directory of the current debian default kernel with
lzip looks like this:

address@hidden:~/4.15.0-2-amd64$ du -sh
248M    .
address@hidden:~/4.15.0-2-amd64$ cd ../4.15.0-2-amd64.lzip
address@hidden:~/4.15.0-2-amd64.lzip$ du -sh
60M     .
address@hidden:~/4.15.0-2-amd64.lzip$
