I was more after the 45MB of disk space as my disk is full and I was
looking for low-hanging disk-space to cull!
With an emptied the disk cache:
$ time cat %gconf-tree.xml > /dev/null
real0m0.985s user0m0.008s sys 0m0.013s
$ time gunzip -cd %gconf-tree.xml.gz > /dev/null
real0m0
** Description changed:
- Gconf2 appears to have base starting trees in:
+ Gconf2 appears to have base-trees in:
/var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree-ll_LL.xml
- which total over 50MB on disk. This easily compress to 10% of that size
- using gzip. This files (being templates) are likely
I'd like to see benchmarks of this before this is envisioned as low-
hanging fruit. With file sizes ranging from 2k to 940k I'm not sure that
decompressing+reading is so much quicker.

that. Closing the bug, please file one on bugzilla.gnome.org rather
