And, as always, bzip2 beats them both: ls -l cit* -rw------- 1 scott.ma scott.ma 6317 Sep 26 08:06 citext.tar.bz2 -rw------- 1 scott.ma scott.ma 7056 Sep 26 08:00 citext.tar.gz -rw------- 1 scott.ma scott.ma 7334 Sep 26 08:01 citext.zip (gzip run with -9 switch) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
