Ayup, so it seems. And when you unzip the archive, tar it up and
gzip it, you end up with greater space
savings:
-rw-r--r-- 1 pll pll 7337 May 7 09:23 sync_wr_performance1.sxc
-rw-r--r-- 1 pll pll 5319 May 7 09:24 sync_wr_performance1.sxc.tar.gz
Of course, I'm assuming they chose InfoZip format because it's also
available on Windows as well as Linux, and therefore allows one to
more easily exchange files with users on different OSes. So, that's
not a bad deal, I'll settle for a default %50 space savings (not to
mention network bandwidth savings for file transfers) for the
flexibility of being able to transparently move the data among
heterogenous environments!
