Hi, I would probably try to compress on the agent before even trying to transfer the large data to the master. This avoids load on the master a) due to transfer and b) due to compression. And if the artifacts get really huge, consider storing them independent from jenkins (S3, maven-style repo, whatever matches your use-case).
