Attached larger files.

*.sav file   = 4.6 MB in disk
*.zsav file = 234.6 kb in disk

The compression ratio is not always proportional, but here a sample that can do
a lot (I'm very surprised).

I have not been able to make objective evidence, however, I have been
working with files up to 1 GB of disk size (zsav), and really not noticeable
performance down to use the same file (sav format almost 2 GB).

Thank you for your attention.
