Compression drop going to thicker gasket?

It is less than a full point but not much. It isn't a very good idea to lower compression this way since you will be increasing the quench area and raise the probablility of causing a second ignition to develop and travel in the chamber towards the air gas mixture. Two better ways are to get pistons with reliefs or get heads that have bigger combustion chambers. Some head porters can also open up the combustion chamber for you but I would leave that as a last resort.
