Feed archives can grow huge in no time - it would be great to have them gzip'ed (bzip2'ed), especially for those feeds with lots of updates and full-length posts.

Is some kind of expiration (see report 82132) not enough for you?
Comment 2 Oleg "2sheds" Kourapov 2004-05-28 16:54:37 UTC 
What I'd really like to have is an archive of important items, as seen in eventwatcher (http://eventwatcher.sf.net/). For pack rats like me, who store their email archives for years to come, this is a must. I understand that huge archive may impact start-up time and memory usage, but that was a feature I need most - no artsy-fartsy interfaces, no advanced features, just let me keep an archive of infinite length and search through it once in a while.

The metakit backend reduced the size of the archives - I don't think we need further compression.
