Hi folks,

I am trying go get a feel for how widely used uncompressed metadata 
repositories are.

A typical content.xml file contains many copies of identical license text. 
 Memory use is not an issue since the implementation uses a StringPool to 
extern string references.  Compressed repositories do not present an issue 
for disk foot print or network traffic as the content.xml compresses 
extremely well, typically 95% or more.

However, uncompressed metadata repositories may pose a significant concern 
here if they are widely used.

So does anybody have an opinion on how widely used uncompressed 
repositories are?

Thanks
