What's in the file? I'd expect documentation to be plain text or HTML
files or postscript or something like that, and gzip usually manages
compression ratios of 2:1 or better on that kind of data, doesn't it?
That is to say, I'd expect the _installed_ data to be close to 500 kB.
Did I miss the point?
