Well 55M versus 40M is _only_ 27% of compression ratio. It means that
the compression algorithm is not so fundamental because the data is
already, how to say, well packaged.
IOW if a compression algorithm X is say 30% less size efficient then
zlib it means that the final packfile size using X would be 44.5M
instead of 40M, i.e. only 11% bigger then using zlib.
