Well, script has several problems (in addition to the hassle of having an 
additional level of scripting in the jobs). If the files generated are very 
large and highly redundant, it is possible for the uncompressed version to be 
prohibitively large, while the compressed file size would be reasonable.

In addition, our installation stores all the files over NFS - you can see that 
compressing them after the fact adds significant overhead which would be 
eliminated by compressing on the fly.

BTW., is there some system of bug/feature tracking in place?
