Last I know, Calibre uses DOC (PalmDOC) compression for MOBI/AZW3. huffdic results in smaller files but it takes much, much longer than PalmDOC to create.

Code:
Usage : kindlegen [filename.opf/.htm/.html/.epub/.zip or directory] [-c0 or -c1 or c2] [-verbose] [-western] [-o <file name>] 
Note: 
   zip formats are supported for XMDF and FB2 sources
   directory formats are supported for XMDF sources
Options: 
   -c0: no compression 
   -c1: standard DOC compression 
   -c2: Kindle huffdic compression
