Since the dump is ascii text with lots of repeating characters, it should
zip or gzip quite nicely.
The compressed file will take a lot less time in transfer over FTP, if
network time/bandwidth is a problem. This becomes important when doing
over-WAN stuff.
The time involved for 1-3GB arch logs (compressed), if I remember, takes a
number of hours to compress and up to 3 days to
send over a 100kbps WAN across the world.
Oracle arch logs don't compress (maybe they are already compressed?).
