You might save some space if you compress() before storing. Depending on

Good idea, but note that COMPRESS() and UNCOMPRESS() weren't introduced 
until MySQL 4.1.1.
With earlier versions you may be able to compress and uncompress in your 
application before
inserting and after selecting (using PHP's gzcompress() and 
gzuncompress(), for example).
