It would be a pity if I waste storage on my end and also incur significant traffic, which could be avoided if data load was transferred compressed. May be HTTP compression (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression) could somehow be used efficiently for this purpose (not sure if load then originally could already reside in a compressed form to avoid server time to re-compress it)? +"""]] |
