Part of what I'm doing is testing the effects of different compression methods on the changes in a file. So what I will do is extract both version 1 and 2 of the file and then re-compress each one using various compression techniques to see which one does the best at not screwing up the similar portions. Part of this is I'm looking at the rsync patch to gzip. I have also found a couple of modifications to that patch that will make it work even better. This is what I want to get some hard numbers on.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't changing the compression scheme
render the datasets completely different? You would then lose any
ability to match against the previous release.
