Jacque,
I don't have a direct answer for you, but I can throw one more
alternative in the bucket. If you're doing this under MacOS, you can
always use the command-line "gzip" utility through shell(). It's
possible this would be more memory efficient than Rev's internal
commands, although it also might not be =).
With a little shell() shenanigans, it might also allow for
asynchronous work in Rev.

I need to compress large-ish files, around 50-100 megs each. I
wonder if anyone knows whether zip or gz format is easier on RAM.
Is it correct that both methods require about double the amount of
RAM as the file size? Is one preferable over the other under low
memory conditions? Are there any other considerations when choosing
between the two?
