here's my hack patch... I think we should do something for DiskDV too though... 
and of course add tests :)

> DocValues fields can be very wasteful if you are storing dates (like solr's 
> TrieDateField does if you enable docvalues) and don't actually need all the 
> precision: e.g. "date-only" fields like date of birth with no time component, 
> time fields without milliseconds precision, and so on.
> Ideally we'd compute GCD of all the values to save space 
> (numberOfTrailingZeros is not really enough here), but i think we should at 
> least look for values like 86400000, 3600000, and 1000 to be practical.
