I'm not about to do any scientific servay of it, but I know
a lot of data could benifit (web pages, other text, all Freenet metadata, etc.).  
OTOH, a lot of data would not benifit.  So, I say make it a CLI option
to compress before insertion.  Clients requesting it could automaticly
recognize the data being returned as compressed and autonaticly 
decompress before using them further.
