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.

Nothing works, and nobody knows why.
