Use hardware decompression in, e.g. a DVD-ROM drive to speed up the loading of data. More data would then be read per distance traveled on the disc, so throughput would be greater.

Data would have to be stored in blocks, though, with a known amount of "decompressed data" per block. That way, the disc would still be seekable.
