Yes, but I think it compresses only one record at a time, 
instead of the whole channel.  This means you'll repeat
the dictionary each time, and you won't get the full
compression for text that is part of a site template 
(common across pages).

In theory, we could tell zlib to use a pre-defined 
dictionary, which might be constant for all web
pages or at least per-channel, but that would not
be trivial.  

Getting it to treat the whole database as one 
file might slow things down too much for long
documents like ebooks.  Combining several
logical records into a single physical record
might work, but would definately complicate
things.
