I actually happened to be reading this on a small device that has a compressed system fs. Compressing data here on the "app" side with uninformed algorithms is discouraged to avoid double compression and other assorted losses. I believe you hit the same things with compression on some network protocols. Touching GB range, this isn't that tiny but well below TB. :)
