Does NPM publish compress by default?

As per the documentation npm publish accepts either a folder or tarball as argument. If a folder is the target, will npm publish and/or the target registry perform any kind of compression of the folder in question?

Yes.

npm publish delegates to pack.packDirectory in case of a directory as an argument, which uses the npm-packlist package and eventually creates a tar.
