Slightly off topic, but after the cron/nightly_gzip job runs, the
.txt.gz file will be updated with the contents from the .txt file.

However, the point of this post is to point out that the .txt.gz files
are an anachronism from the days when the bit of bandwidth saved by
delivering a compressed version was important to more that a few ancient
curmudgeons like me.

These days, the bandwidth savings is unimportant and is probably offset
by the redundant storage and processing for the .txt.gz files.

If you want to get rid of these files, see
