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.
