Ssh does support compression, but it seems to be only if the client requests it (ssh -C).

You could, though, write a pam module to trickle data out very slowly. Maybe pam_python would be easier to experiment with.

I use pam_shield to just null route ssh connections with X failed login attempts. There's no retaliation in that approach, but it does stop the brute forcing.
