That's _one_ answer. But I got a different one.
Let's assume you've got a file which is filled with exactly
1,073,741,824 spaces in a row. Now look at the compression-
effectiveness-"table", got in <20040210182925.GF921@jabberwocky.com>:
,---- [ Compression-Algorithms ]
| ZIP: 1,043,671 (1028:1)
| ZLIB: 1,043,677 (1028:1)
| BZIP2: 833 (1289005:1)

But maybe you don't want to compress a file full of spaces...
