Agreed; removed with the attached patch. I didn't bother keeping the
gzip mention because I assume there is little value to using without
pglesslog.

- If archive storage size is a concern, use
<application>pg_compresslog</>,
- <ulink url="http://pglesslog.projects.postgresql.org";></ulink>, to
- remove unnecessary <xref linkend="guc-full-page-writes"> and trailing
- space from the WAL files. You can then use
- <application>gzip</application> to further compress the output of
- <application>pg_compresslog</>:
- <programlisting>
- archive_command = 'pg_compresslog %p - | gzip > /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f'
- </programlisting>
- You will then need to use <application>gunzip</> and
- <application>pg_decompresslog</> during recovery:
- <programlisting>
- restore_command = 'gunzip < /mnt/server/archivedir/%f | pg_decompresslog -
%p'
- </programlisting>
