What is somewhat funny is that long discussions are held about
that worst case 50% increase in size; yet at the same time the typical
use of a hard disk is mostly about huge non-text data (sound, video,
images, games, fonts,...)

I can store all the textual information of the web pages I work at
in less than 5% of a CDROM. I can fill it with some of the images and
sound files I have; and I'm not a multimedia freak.
