Forgive me if this has been answered recently, but I haven't gotten my
last two dozen e-mails for today yet.

Regarding the compression plugin, what sort of compression can one
expect from it?  I know that compression of files like bz2 will vary (in
that they'll be essentially uncompressed) from source/text files
(excellent compression).  A rough estimate from someone's experience
using on mixed files it would help.

Also:  Is the algorithm set in stone?  If so what is it?  If not, what
is it now/expected to be?

Thanks,
Clay Barnes
