Jim,
        Thanks for the numbers.  Pretty different from Joe's.

Question #1)

   Could you download a fresh copy of BDB 3.0.55 from
http://www.sleepycat.com/download/index.shtml

It's easy to build, I am most interested in the results when you run db_stat on the uncompressed files and report back the fill-factor. This is a measure of wasted space in the BDB pages. This won't work on the compressed index.

Question #2)
  What page_size are you using?

Question #3)
  Do you ever see any errors when using the compressed index?

  Joe:  Do you?

Thanks

Neal

I do have a large data set that I could test with if it would be of real value. However I would need to try rebuilding ht://Dig with large file support before I could consider dropping compression for that set.
