You can use

Compression: bzip2

to use bzip2 which should be faster. (see:
http://autopackage.org/docs/devguide/ch02s02.html#id2505566 )
Unfortunately there's currently no way of using no compression at all.

Furthermore I think most of the code hasn't been written with
efficiency in mind. For example the payload gets copied 3 times
(extracting from the .package, uncompressing, copying to the prefix).
This is probably something we need to change in future version of
Autopackage.
Let's hope it really is LZMA and not Autopackage that slows down the
installation of your package.
