The compression techniques are usually general and the percentage
compression depends on the content and generally the length of the file.
Take an example.
The stats for html files in my /home/httpd/html/manual/mod/mod_php3
file usage(blocks) Size
*.* 4885 100%
gzip *.* 1965 40.2%
gunzip *.*
tar *.* >/tmp/a.tar 5158 105.5%
gzip a.tar 609 12.5%
Your html files must be real small and hence any general
compression algoritm will not compress your files greatly. The only way is
to tar -zc them.
