Actually, Analog can perform faster on zipped/compressed log files than uncompressed files. This is because the slowest part of processing is reading the disk. Memory and processor are so much faster that you can actually get better performance with moderately compressed files even though it has to go through the process of uncompressing them.
This is particulary true if your logfiles are stored on a different machine, and are accessed over the network. You'll see a huge performance boost if you zip the logfiles first. But make sure that the zip process runs on the server that the logfiles start on - there's no point in sucking the files across the network to compress them.
