Thanks for clarifying the issue with this patch.

I would like to see some compression in the release, but agree that it is not an essential optimization. People have talked about it for a couple of months, and we haven't found someone to work on it because at various times pirx and /F said they were working on it.

If we don't hear from /F by tomorrow promising he will finish it before the beta release, let's postpone it.
