Description (last modified by Richard Boulton)

Olly has a patch to use zlib to improve compression in the zlib backend.

This should probably be applied to HEAD at some point, in some form. The patch is currently available at:

http://oligarchy.co.uk/xapian/patches/xapian-0.9.7-flint-zlib.patch

Further discussion of this patch should probably happen in this bug, so we can find it again later...

Marking this bug for implementation for the 1.0 release, since the old wiki Todo page suggested that some of the patch should be applied for 1.0. I haven't looked at the patch in detail myself for quite some time; if there are some bits which could easily be applied for 1.0 without needing much work that would be good; otherwise, I vote that this should be postponed to later in the 1.0 series (or even to 1.1).

It wouldn't be too hard to apply compression for just the record table (say). I'm talking to Arjen about which tables it is most worthwhile for (he's been using it for ages).
