This is probably misguided and useless at best, at worst you're causing 
additional writes because compressed data is generally hard to modify in 
place without rewriting substantial portions. Concerns about SSD life 
are generally overblown unless you've got really unusual usage patterns 
(in which case compressing things is unlikely to make a difference).

For reference, my main desktop which tracks debian unstable and gets 
pretty much constant updates, does package builds, etc., has after 
several years used...2% of its primary SSDs write capacity. Most modern 
SSDs will never be used anywhere close to their limits before being 
discarded as functionally obsolete. Just don't worry about it and focus 
on other things.
